mixing israeli and us infantry

would it look realistic at this scale to mix the US and Israeli infantry and have them both look US? maybe the israelis as us special forces/rangers or something? anyone have any close up israeli shots? i know the helmets are slightly different but i don't know how much of a difference there is at 6mm scale. i was thinking they might be able to pass for those new MICH helmets the US specops are using, similar to the standard kevlar helmet, but communications headset is integrated.

In this scale you can mix any infantry,even WWII with modern, just paint them the same and don't get them close enough to your eyesight to make out the real difference, seriously! But in you are a purist and know what it is without looking, but just knowing what they really are, this method will not work for you...

British and Israeli modern infantry mix well. US should be no problem too. In fact, in some instances missing weapon types in a given package almost require one to mix troops.

thanks JB. those israelis would definately pass for US troops. Something about them, they look very rugged, i guess.... those men with the missile tubes on their backs, did they come like that? or did you modify them? i think i'll mix a couple israelis for every US squad.... the packs are really the only thing that i can see that gives em away, but if it's just one or two for every stand, it shouldn't be too bad. are we ever getting updated US troops????

Atticus,
The AT missle is a scratch built thing. Its funny you should mention them passing for US troops. The LMG team is US but with Israeli packs added...
