Just wondering which miniatures would be represent Belgium forces in 1940 for vehicles, infantry, infantry guns, armour and such?

French infantry would work to represent Belgians. Probably French 75s for artillery but beyond that I don't have any good suggestions.

Most of the Belgian kit was unique to Belgium, which GHQ don't make as yet, although I believe Scotia do.
Depending on how accurate you want to be:
For trucks French items would be okay
Japanese 70mm Type 92 infantry guns would do as Belgian 47mm/76mm infantry guns
French 75mm would do as the standard Belgian 75mm
T-13 tank destroyers - umm, bit more difficult that one!
T-15 light tank was based on the Vickers Light tank, but with the turret in the centre, suppose you could ad-lib with Vickers Mk.VIB
The ACG tank was based on a French type, you could ad-lib with a H-39 or R-35.
Infnatry - French are ideal, as stated above.
47mm ATG - perhaps the Japanese one would work, or even a 37mm Bofors
