So i picked up a copy of osprey's Black Ops over christmas and it looks pretty solid.
Being me i want to run a couple of scenarios using the rules and im pretty much set on everything bar one thing.
Having no imagination, i want to do the battle of Mogadishu in some capacity but im having trouble finding Black Hawks in scale (for use as objective markers etc.).
Iv'e found plenty in 1/72 and 1/48 but neither look quite right next to 28mm infantry.
I thought if anyone knew where i could get some 1/56 or 1/60 ish scale helicopters it would be you lot.

edit:
I have found some helicopters in scale from eureka minis but i'm specifically after Hawks

Britannia Miniatures do a downed Blackhawk in 28mm as a terrain piece.

That's pretty much exactly what i'm looking for
Cheers

1/48th scale is basically the same as 28mm. I should stick with them because there is a lot of plastic model kits available on the market.

I'm not aware of any aircraft in 1/56 or 1/60, but there may be some that someone else would know about.

That's 1/56. Most 1/48 stuff is a little on the large side for 28mm. Both scales will work with 28mm, but obviously, not EVERYTHING in both scales will work. Similar to 1/72 and 1/76 will working for 20mm. You can even get away with some 1/87 things; tractors, civilian cars, fences, livestock etc.
