I see all these nice plastic German half tracks, tanks and trucks, Russian kit and US Shermans….. but does anyone make a decent 15mm US Half track (M3 preferably)?

This is the stuff that will keep me awake at night. Not sure which issue, "I want!", or "The $$$!" will contribute most to the insomnia. old fart

Whatever happened to their plans to do 1/56 vehicles as well? They released some 28mm infantry and promised some appropriately scaled armour but it seems to have dropped off the radar.

Hmm yes it seems that you'll have to wait for PSC, well theres also Point of Contact if you dont mind pre paints

Hmm I may be guessing here but perhaps it may be because their 28mm arent as popular? I can see why though, they're just upscaled 1/72 or 15mm models so quality and poses will suffer from this. Bit of a shame though, I can totally use some well priced 28mm vehicles and british infantry

I have not been impressed with the Point of Contact stuff (and I was very excited when they were first announced). Not a very crisp model, and so so paint jobs…. the model itself was the problem.

Although I may have to go that route eventually if PSC takes too long. Needing 12-15 half tracks is turning me off of playing an armored rifle company.

28mm from PSC does seem to have taken a backseat. the first set got a bit of stick due to the issues pointed out by tauwarlord196. Since then the figures are retooled before release in 28mm which I imagine delays thins a bit. Interestingly the 2 sets that have been released since in 28mm have not yet come out in 15mm (Russian Heavy Wepons & Anti tank Guns)
