I sent this short list off to Wargames South, hoping that they may consider producing at least some of the modern vehicles on the list, since they seem to be branching out with a few other ranges too:

West German Vehicles
--------------------------
Marder IFV and Roland carrier
JgPz Kanone
JgPz Rakete – early
JgPz Rakete – late, with applique armor
Gepard

Soviet Vehicles
-----------------
BMP-1
BMP-2
BMP-3
T-62
BRDM-1
BRDM-2
BRDM's with various A/T Weapons
ZSU-23/4

British Vehicles
-----------------
Chieftian
FV-432
FV-438 with Swingfire
Scimitar
Scorpion

American Vehicles
---------------------
M113 APC and variants, mortar, command, etc.
M48A3
M48A5
M60/M60A1
M60A2
M60A3

I'm especially interested in seeing the APCs and IFVs produced, to complement some of the modern plastic tanks that have been produced by various companies.

Not sure if they will consider it, or not, but perhaps they will, and/or others might consider doing the same in plastic also.

Of course, many other modern vehicles, and/or infantry in 1/144th scale (12mm), would be nice too, e.g. American, British, West German, WARPAC and Soviet Infantry, troops with suitcase Saggers, etc.

I am aware of the Minifigs line, but am not really interested in those.

Feel free to contact Wargames South, to let them know you'd like to see them as well, if you have an interest in modern 1/144th scale gaming, and to add your vehicle wants below too.

not sure what the issue is.

Mini figs do some of the above. pg-models does 432's and spartan with swingfire. Ators.shipyard is about to do the Fenneck. Why are you so botherd by one manufacture? I am a growing fan of 1/144 for some actions.

PS there was a failure but I think Ators is back on track for the BMP-3 by the end of the month at least for the pre prod versions.

We'll be doing the Scorpion and Scimitar for our new Falkland's range: link

Mako1105 Jan 2012 12:49 p.m. PST

Hmmmm, couldn't find a listing for PG-Models.

Do they have a website, or e-mail address?

UshCha05 Jan 2012 1:07 p.m. PST

this link works –

pg-models.com/range.aspx but the order section does not.

Mako1105 Jan 2012 3:08 p.m. PST

Thank you for the link.

I did a search on the name, and 1/144 FV-432, but the site didn't show up.

Looks like they have lots of nice items for sale.

Mako, the FV-432 can be found under the Armour page:

pg-models.co.uk/armour

Mako1106 Apr 2014 11:20 a.m. PST

Adding to the list:

M41 tank
Marder 1 with rear MG
HS-30 with 20mm cannon
Spz Kurz with 20mm, and without

M114, also, with 20mm cannon.

Thanks for the info, Darryl.

Would love to see them produce the:

Chieftian V
FV-438 Swingfire
Striker

Any chance you, or others know what they charge for shipping to the USA?

Didn't see any info on their website about that, other than stuff is shipped via Royal Mail.

Buckeye AKA Darryl09 Apr 2014 5:07 a.m. PST

Mako – To be honest I got a bit frustrated with their website as it seems to go rather slow! :)

I would suggest using their Contact Us page and see if they offer US shipping and at what cost.

And, if you come up with some extra Roskopf HS-30 (lang version) I could probably use a couple if you care to part. I ordered a few of the kurz versions from a guy on eBay but need maybe two of the lang versions.
