Thank you all, And I guess the vehicles are all in resin or inhard plastic … None in metal? And all in spare parts? What is the scale for the 28/30 mm figures ? |

What is the scale for the 28/30 mm figures ? Most seem to have settled on 1/56 as the scale for vehicles. Some people favour 1/48, but 1/56 seems to have the greatest variety across various nations and periods.
Some small vehicles are in metal. Most are resin with some metal parts such as gun barrels. Hard plastics kits are getting more common now that both Warlord and Rubicon are doing them. |

This TMP thread covers most of the firms that do 28mm WW2.

Yes there is a choice … But on this scale, you have to play on a football field! |

Army Group North Miniatures [AGNM] has 1/56 vehicles and German artillery. agnminiatures.com Here are some samples and customer-painted vehicles:

@andygamer: Thanks for the links… No manufacturers have ever offered all-metal vehicles? |
| andygamer | 23 Jan 2019 3:54 p.m. PST |
There is one metal-vehicle maker but I cannot recall the name. I understand they are very heavy as they are fully cast in metal and are not made like plate vehicles like Matchbox or Dinky type vehicles. You might be able to find it listed in TMP's manufacturer directory list. |

The weight, I do not care … If anyone knows who it is? Thank you in advance . |

No manufacturers have ever offered all-metal vehicles? I think only Black Tree Design did metal vehicles and they are OOP and were very poor anyway. Plastic, resin and metal mostly. Only small vehicles like motorbikes and Kettenkrads are all metal. |

Alas… So the good old models in "500 pieces" of hard plastic – LOL – of the good old days it exists can be at this scale? But prices must be …And the models very fragile… No, no, I have to find vehicles all in metal! |

So the good old models in "500 pieces" of hard plastic Nothing like that many. Kits are very easy to build and if you are a half way competent modeller can be built in an hour or less. Often metal models take longer, filing parts to get them to fit, filling gaps with putty etc. But prices must be …And the models very fragile… The plastic models are surprisingly robust. Things like plastic aerials will break, but easy enough to replace with piano wire. No, no, I have to find vehicles all in metal! Well good luck trying to find any. |
| hi EEE ya | 26 Jan 2019 6:53 a.m. PST |
If that exists I will find, necessarily … |
| hi EEE ya | 28 Jan 2019 12:28 a.m. PST |
Outside the old Solido, the scales are pretty rough, there is nothing to my knowledge, except the new range of quarter kit but at prohibitive cost: link Let's continue our research … |
| Fred Cartwright | 29 Jan 2019 5:50 p.m. PST |
Let us know how you get on. |
| hi EEE ya | 30 Jan 2019 1:02 a.m. PST |
It's gone wrong, but I'm very stubborn … When I do not look I'll find by chance as usual … |
