I've been thinking about doing Team Yankee in either 10mm or 12mm and would like to know who makes some in those scales?? BTW, I already have hundreds in 6mm.

There are several related threads on the Cold Wars and Modern boards:

pg-models.com/index.aspx
Pendraken
Minifigs
Panzer Depot
Wargames South

pithead-miniatures.tk does Korean War.

There are also a number of Chinese companies selling pre-painted plastics on eBay.

Can.Do (M1s and Bradleys)

Pegasus/Trumpeter (the same vehicles get marketed by both these companies, with different codes. Sometimes they are sold as prepainted, complete models, and other times as kits) – (M1s, T-72s, T-54s/T-55s, AAV-7s, etc.)

Minifigs and Wargames South (now Arrowhead) supposedly scale well with them. WS only makes the Marder 1A3 in modern though. Last time I checked, they were sold out of their Warrior model.

I've tried asking Minifigs and Arrowhead to consider making other, much needed IFVs/APCs, without luck thus far, but enough people bug them, they may consider that, e.g. Marder 1, 1A1, and 1A2; HS-30; Spz Kurz; BMP-1 (Minifigs makes this one); BMD-1 and BMD-2; BTR-60PB (Minifigs makes this one); M113 (Minifigs makes this one); M-114; M151 Mutt variants; Iltis jeep; Munga jeeps; GAZ jeeps; PBV-302 Swedish APC; YP-408 8-wheeled APC; etc., etc..

If you already have hundreds in 6mm why not just use those?

I intend to but the group I game with is looking for alternatives.

6mm vehicles are nice, but the 1/144th stuff looks pretty neat, and is a bit more impressive on the tabletop, size-wise.

Still small enough though, to permit reasonably long firing engagements too.

10 mm is perfect for the new Sabre Squadron rules. I found the scale to be the right balance between being large enough to see what a stand it across the table and avoiding the fender to fender wall of tanks.

Though "Micro Armor" tanks I find just fine, Infantry below 10mm just does not for me.
