Probably not exactly wargaming related, but I have recently started building 1/48 scale models. Two things I would like for the general ambience is a M3 White Scout Car and some japanese tanks. I am not concerned if the are plastic kits, resin, or even the prepainted toys, as long as they are 1/48. I have seen tjat Gaso.line makes a resin M3, but I was unable to find it on their website.

Thank you for any and all help.

Battle Honors used to make a 25mm M3 scout car.

Thank you, Chacrinha, those are the links I couldn't find.

Any others out there?

Try places like HobbyLink Japan – there used to be a lot of different – mainly Japanese – manufacturers of 1/48 AFV's of all sorts. The quality of the plastic was often pretty poor but the kits were/are out there, mainly brands you have never heard of.

Tamiya makes the Kurogane scout car and the IJN Komatsu bulldozer in 1/48 scale.

Hasegawa also makes the Kurogane scout car, the IJA motorcycle with sidecar, and Japanese airfield fuel trucks with crews in 1/48 scale.

Squadron Hobbies often has them on sale.

I know these kits are not tanks, but they're pretty cool nonetheless!

Here's a website with a bunch of chesp 1/48 toy-like WWII
tanks ( Including a Japaness Chi-Ha). At $14.95 USD starting price, it looks like a good deal.

Here's a 1/48 scale Hasegawa Imperial Japanese Army kit on eBay. Possibly of interest.

Kurogane scout car and motorcycle with sidecar.

Not a bad price.
