For use with T.A.G. WW2 Marines in a non WW2 game. They're more "realistic" 28mm (opposed to Heroic), which equates to 1/48. Closest I found was a 1/35: link M. |

I will guess this is not quite what you are after, but your call…. I downloaded a paper model kit from a site in Poland, a while back, based on the build found on this site- link Regards |

Kengi makes (or made?) them in resin; here's one next to a VFM 28mm figure link I couldn't find Kengi on the internet – I bought my model off of ebay several years ago. Company B link makes them in 1:56; I saw one at a convention a few years ago and I believe it is very close in size to the Kengi model. It should go well with TAG figures, I think. |

Kenji is Ken Swenson models. Here's his product listing and contact info from Track48. Looks like the M3 is a conversion kit for the Tamiya Sherman kit, so it won't come cheap. His models are very nice though. I bought the M24 Chaffee: link |

You're confusing the M3 Lee with the M3 Stuart. Kenji does a complete M3 Stuart for $38. USD |

Gaso.line and Wespe make almost every vehicle on WW2 at 1/48 they should have one!

No one makes an M3A1 in 1:48 (we did 5 years ago…, but it's no longer in production) A few of those kits may still be floating around though. 1:48 Stuarts that I know of… M5A1 with Wading trunks-Hartsmith models $100 USD
M5A1-Hartsmith models $90 USD
M8 HMC Hartsmith models $125 USD
M3 Honey-Gas.oline $45 USD
M5A1-Gas.oline $45 USD
M3A3-Gas.oline $45 USD
M5A1-Kengi $38 USD
M3 Honey-Kengi $38 USD For the Marines, you'd want the 1:48 M5A1 for late war, or the M3 Honey for the initial battles. For the M3A1 early war models, you would need to scratch build a new turret for the M3. Not too hard to do. Honestly though, our 1:56 Stuarts are compatible with our line of 28mm US Marines and Japanese designed in conjunction with and offered through Brigade Games. If the Brigade Games Marines are similar in size to the TAG ones, then you can use just about anything from 1:56 to 1:48. A lot of 1/48 gamers use our stuarts and have no issues as far as looking right on the table. |

Highly agree with Company B post above. 1:56 tanks look great next to TAG 28mm figures. |

I painted 3 Company B M5A1 (late war) and they are really nice. For small tanks like the M3A1/M5A1 the difference between 1/56 and 1/48 should be very small (2-3mm?) Just in case the pics

I haven't tried Company B 1:56th vehicles, I've got some other 1:56th Stuarts though, and they are TINY compared to my 1:4th stuff. Look comical with the Shermans… Have to get some Company B and see if they're closer, just to have another source in the stable for hard-to-get stuff. Don. |
looks at some new terrain products, which use space age technology!
