Back, er twenty years or so ago I recall looking at a range of soft plastic poly vehicles, mostly UK WWII types IIRC; Not the Airfix ones, but some other enthusiasts production. Modestly priced, they may even have been 1/72; But I can't recall the manufacturer for the life of me. Anyone have any suggestions? |

Matchbox had a model line in the 1970s and 80s

Matchbox were hard plastic kits, though they did do a few die cast vehicles, I remember a Sherman – not in a sensible scale in those days of course. |

Yes the Matchbox are polystyrene, not soft.
I got obsessed with them being UK and missed that part.

Nope, None of the above; Sorry guys.
More a niche toy soldier collector question? Familiar with all the suggestions, not much of the BUM stuff, but even have some of that. |
