Anyone know of a good manufacturer? Khurasan seems to always be down and out… are there any alternatives? Thanks! |

Zvezda do a plastic kit, QRF metal, both good but if I had to choose it would be Khurasan. Worth the wait. |

The Zvezda kit is very basic, so you may want to think hard about that one. It appears that a lot of detailing you would expect on it, was left off for some reason. Not sure if they made a mistake in production, or were just cutting corners, but check on-line reviews first, before purchasing it. Most of the other Zvezda models seem to be quite good, and don't suffer from that issue. |

Yeah, that Zvezda one is a mystery – at the same time they made a T80 tank that is drop dead lovely and then there is the Abrams that looks like a couple of slabs of plastic stuck together. QRF one is nice though I had a problem with the pieces that go over the tracks – not bad, just a little fiddly. Quality Castings has one with the 105MM gun as well. |

I agree with mcwong. Yeah, you might have to wait on Khurasan, but if you can wait, it's top of the line |

Corgi had a toy that was about spot on for 15mm…..I have a bunch for my collection |

The Johnny Lightning diecast is exactly 15mm. You can often find them on e-bay. Already painted in desert colors with appropriate markings. It comes with a mine plow but that is easily removed. |

I'll second the Johnny Lightning ones, have several in my collection; all bought off E-Bay. |

Okay, ordered a Johnny lightning one. Thanks guys. Stupid khurasan. |
