Who makes the nicest ones?

MiniPigs… I'm partial to the Fujimi and Eidia/Arii plastic versions. The Eidai/Arii being the more durable of the two kits. Two cents worth, Bill

Go airfix , easier to find

Airfix, yes.But it's odd that SHQ doesnt make one in metal. Oh well, Airfix. Is the tractor that goes with the set good as well? Seems a bit fiddly.

Are you a 1/76 purist? The Zvezda FlaK 56 is a very nice kit might be closer to 1/72

I dont know that I am a purist but but but, I am having true 1/76 kits painted for me mostly SHQ and MMS and I will never handle these items until they're finished and delivered to me. There are gaps in my needs that I'm trying to cover with items that would fit in with those models. Thus, I dont want to end up with surprises that are out of scale.

You know I totally missed the guns section. Some of these wargames websites drive me mad. Now, the question is do I prefer the SHQ or the Airfix 88mm?
