Here is a link to a site which you might find interesting. Quite a lot of fairly exotic kit! http://rtm.jo/en-us/.

A Shamagh worn tucked up on either side into the agyle. Id put up a photo but I have so far failed to work out how to do it.

I wonder if any of the figure modelling fraternity could point me at a source of 1/35 figure heads with Arabic headdress? I have searched to net, but I may well be looking in the wrong place. I am working on an Arab Legion project and would like to do some more figures, if I could find the heads I could use most WW2 British figures. Eddie

Well, except for the suspicious colour, that is what I really was after, an Arab Legion 7th Armoured Car Regiment MkIV. I had found exactly those markings on a sheet of 1/72 decals.

As far as I can see they only have a MkVI, or have I missed something.

Thanks that's very helpful indeed. I'll fathom out how to do pictures in due course. The kit, ordered but not seen, is Commander ordered from Iron Shipwrights in 1/35. This seems to be the only one on the market - unless someone knows different. I am playing with a 25Pdr gun at present. I have been collecting Arab Legion figures for sometime both models from various sources and some "toy soldiers" also from various makers. They're not easily to find. A French company called Star Lux make a series of the toy soldiers which being plastic with easily detached arms lend themselves to modification.

Hi Guys I am new here and returning to modelling after rather too long. My first project is a Marmon-Herrington MkIV Armoured Car as used by the Arab Legion. I have a nice photo of a couple of them but only in B&W. I wonder if anybody can point me to any colour pics. I now have to discover how to post pictures???? Eddie

Hi Guys I am looking for a 1/35 kit for a Marmon-Herrington MkIV Armoured Car as used by the Arab Legion. I would also be grateful if anyone can come up with a colour image of a car in Arab Legion Service.
