Just as the title says , what miniatures cars (in 1:100) do exist out there for use as Team Yankee scenery (or as objetcves for those looting russian hordes…)??

Other than those at North Star figures , and that classic Mercedes Benz from Peter Pig , that is…

Amazon has several listings
cars somewhere between 1:100 and HO
should all fit fine

Weirdly enough Hot Wheels toy cars work too.

HO cars work very well, and vintage 80's models can be picked up for cheap on the second hand market.

Regular scale Hot Wheels and the like are far too large (1:64 or thereabouts).

You can find 1:100 cars by the bagful (literally) and for cheap, on eBay. Example:

auction

Here they are in action in a convention game we put on:

Motor Max "American Classics" 1/87 range is cheap, and scales exceptionally well. Have had difficulty finding them online for some reason, but Hobbyco in Sydney has a truckload.

Oxford diecast, procier but far wider range for the period.
