Looking for the definitive list of 15mm vehicles and tanks for the Chaco War. I have seen some of the various posts here on TMP, but in reading them all I become a bit confused (and I haven't even had a beer yet today). Who makes the proper Vickers (both the 47mm short gun turret and the twin turreted versions)? (Type B and Type A respectively)
Who makes the Loyd tankette?
Who makes Ford Model AA trucks? A full list of all the above would be ideal. Thanks! |

Zveda make a Russian truck that is a knock-off of the Ford pickup truck. Nice, inexpensive model. QRF makes the Vickers, as i recall. |

True North do the Lloyd carrier (UK link)
link It has the pyramid shaped head covers. Not sure about the 6 tonner, a quick scan of QRF/Skytex don't show one but I may have missed it. The ones you may see in polish ranges have obvious modifications (new engine meant raised rear deck and air intakes). Yes the Gaz AA truck is a license build of the Ford Model A so the Zvevda kit is a godsend. Aircraft: Posted on here the other day.

I believe True North (via Old Glory) make the Carden Loyd, in their WWII Dutch range. |

I have the True North Carden Loyd. It makes a nice little model but some work was required to get it that way. For some reason one of the tracks is much larger than the other so a fair amount of filing is required.
I also thought that they had the Vickers export in the Polish range. |

You'd probably get away with using a T26 model 31 for the vickers, in 15mm its virtually identical. Quality Cast, from Old Glory 15s do one, I suspect others do too. |

QRF have short 47mm and twin-turret 6-tonners in their Polish range: link |

Minairons Miniatures is in the process to make a hard plastic early T26 with twin and single turret combination which could work for you. |

I've gone with the Zveda trucks and the Minairons tanks. They are cheap, easy to assemble, and nicely detailed. The trucks I got from eBay, and the tanks directly from Minairons (great service!) I still have yet to pick up the Loyd (or Lloyd) carriers from anyone. |
