What he says, i have a SU152 and SU76 from Die Waffenkammer and T34/85, SU100 and a "Jeep" from Warlord Games/ Bolt Action, they are all VERY nice. They are both 1:56, i think company B are 1:60 iirc, so slightly smaller, though i doubt you would notice once they are painted and on the battle field. |

There was a comparison between the T-34 from BAM (1/56), WW and S&S (1/60) and they were really similar in size. AGN Miniatures as some tanks such as the KV1/2 agnminiatures.com I painted a KV-1 Platoon (AGN Miniatures)
link And a T34/76 Company (West Wind)
link I have 2 SU76 and 1 SU152 (JTFM Entreprises) to paint but I probably buy additional ones to have a platoon. Olivier |

Sorry, you are correct, Company B are 1:56, it was S&S i was thinking of. Love your work Sgt btw. |

We produce alot of Russian gear from the T-70 right through to the JS IIm. Cheers, Jeff @ JTFM/Die Waffenkammer |
| TodCreasey | 09 Feb 2010 7:12 a.m. PST |
My collection is a mix of JTFM and AGN and they go really well together. |

Can't ever go wrong with JTFM, Bolt Action, or Company B. AGN makes some nice figs as well. Most of theirs come based, if it matters to you. I have a few M10's from the Berlin or Bust range, and they seem to fit nicely with my 1:56 vehicles. |

I would say JTFM, Bolt Action, Company B and AGN.
Westwind Berlin or Bust is too small. |

Not to forget diecast 1/50th scale tanks. Corgi T-34s are still around on ebay, but you can get a variety of 1/50 tanks from etailer QuarterKit. They are based in France, but the prices are quite reasonable and they have fast service. phpshopxml.com/quakit.shop For example a T-34/85 (painted, you can touch it up of course) runs for 16.65 Euro, which is less then resin from many other companies:
link But whatever company and scale you choose, best to keep all the same type of tanks the same scale. So if you go with 1/56, don't mix in a 1/50 or even a 1/60 (smaller Berlin or Bust IIRC) or it looks odd. I tend to use 1/56 for early war and light tanks, and 1/50-1/48 for medium and heavy tanks. Btw, I have a number of detailed Solido T-34s that I want to part with. PM me if interested, I can send you some pictures. Some time ago Quarter Kit had a sale and I went a little crazy and bought a battalion of T34s…but they did make for an awesome Kursk game! As well as T34s I have some Solido Tigers, PZIVDs, trucks, Grants (Soviet gear glued on, you can strip 'em), a couple of Classic Armor 1/50th scale PzIVs, etc. |

I have the AGN T-34s and they are very nice. The only draw back for some people is the molded on base. I don't mind it myself. I also have the JTFM T-70 and it is a great model too. The JTFM come with a bit of stowage as well. Regards, Bill |

for what should be a whole catalog link |
| Mick in Switzerland | 10 Feb 2010 10:53 a.m. PST |
Dear Zarkoniel Your list is very good but Tamiya have added 32560 Marder 3 and 2 versions of SdKFz 251 (32564 and 32566) and British Light Utility Car 32562. The US Jeep 32552 is missing.

There are also two modern hummers 32567 and 32563.
