Milan Anti-tank section, 5th/7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment. These fellows I am painting in the 1980s camo.
Another addition is a Cavalry troop made up of 4 M113 MRV (2 with Saladin turrets, 2 with Scorpion turrets) and an M113 LRV, basically a carrier with the gun shield. I'm building it up from scratch. this is in my 1/72 collection.
My Australian units from Vietnam will be drafted in, which is the infantry component. I have no plans on painting them in the Australian camo pattern as I still need them for Vietnam.

a mix of my 1/72 and 1/87 for the ANZACs in Vietnam. The 2 FSV, Zippo, and basic carrier.
Eventually I will add 3 more carriers once I have sorted out the Canadian set.
As of today, 1/2019, the Australians have a tank squadron with one Centurion for the 1/72 collection
For actual Team Yankee in 1985, they do have a squadron of New Zealand squadron of 2 Scorpions.
I will be building up the Scorpions from the kit I got today.
I've been able to upgrade this force with additional M113 FSV and a Milan group. I was able to get some Leopard 1 tanks but am awaiting their arrival in Nunavut winter 2023.
Further growth to this force will be to have M113s with the gun turrets and mortar carriers. I have one battery of mortar carriers which are kit bashed, ie with terrain coverings to disguise the fact they have only half the parts.
