Toy cars or unpaint miniatures.

I can find larger vehicles such as van, truck via Japanese Tomica but I can't find the smaller one such as taxi, sport car in 15mm scale.

Search eBay for 1:100 cars – there's a lot of places that sell them by the truckload for train layouts or architectural models. You'll also find 1:200, 1:300, 1:500…

If you want WW2. Try QRF.

HO scale works real well…

I have both 1:100 civilian vehicles (many the same type nvdolye has mentioned) as well as a lot of HO / 1:87 scale stuff and I find the HO / 1:87 vehicles a much better fit with the larger size of many 15mm minis coming out these days.

I agree with Jeff. The 1/87 goes well with today's 15mm. However, if it doesn't say 1/87 in the box, chances are that it is only an approximation.

Here are a few that clearly say 1/87 on the box or display platform:

Hope it helps.

PS. Just type this in your searches:
"hot wheels 1/87"
"winners circle 1/87"
"malibu 1/87"

Model Power Minis has a series of 1:87 vehicles that seem to fit well with my 15mm moderns. There is also a "1/87 Vehicle Club" site that links to many different manufacturers.

Zoneofcontrol,

I hadn't seen those MP vehicles. Very cool:

Thank you for the suggestion!

I think HO scale is a bit large for 15mm because most of my minis are from Peter Pig. They are kinda like true 15mm.

they will work fine…most of my figs are Peter Pig and Rebel…and I use HO scale 1/87th and even matchbox trucks. !8 wheelers, panel truck, dump truck, plow, bus…all work great. Carry a figure in your pocket when your looking for cars and compare it to the desired vehicle…

Thanks Stepman3!

According to your thread:

It seems that HO scale work great with 15mm figures.

btw, who made the naked women?

Are they naked women from Peter Pig Range 6-Odds and Ends?
I think they might be great for 15mm superhero

Thanks in advance!

Peter Pig made the nudes…
