Just something compatible with 28-32mm figures.

This earlier TMP link has some more options. I have the Kengi 1:48 resin model – which is very nice and easy to put together.

What scale is the company B one? It doesn't say.

1:56th for the Co B models link

If you don't want your beefy "heroic scale" 28mm to 32mm figures from Artizan, Crusader, Warlord or Victory Force looking ridiculously large next to 1/56 models, I recommend you get the 1/50 scale PMD model available from Battlemart. I have two of these myself and they're very nice:

Ken Swenson (aka 'kenji') also offers one in 1/48, in even greater detail. Here's a list of all his offerings. The M5A1 is about a third of the way down the list:

Ken is a professional modeler who made some really nice 1/48 kits in resin. I ordered two each of the M24 Chaffees and M18 Hellcats. They are beautiful models. I emailed Ken, paid him by Paypal and received the kits within a week (though I live within 50 miles from him).

Or…….if you're willing to wait a while maybe this new co. will have one in the future:

28mm Fanatik, isn't 1/50 smaller than 1/56?

No. Unlike 15mm, 20mm, 28mm, etc. the smaller the number the larger the model scale. A 1/48 scale model would be much larger than a 1/72 one for instance. We're talking about denominators here so we're looking at inverse relationships.
