All my WWII armor (and infantry) is from Peter Pig. Unfortunately, I need some Puma armored cars and M5 tanks which Peter Pig does not make. Please let me know which other manufacturers make Pumas and M5s which would be compatible. Thanks..

I mix up PP, QRF and PSC 15mm stuff without any vast problems. My M5s are all PSC.

I would add Skytrex to the mix too.

Old Glory, Command Decision. Gaming Models.

If you source all of each chassis (e.g. M3 & M5 Stuarts & M8 Scotts) from the same manufacturer, they will look good with each other.

I tend to find the OG/Skytrex comes up a bit small compared to PP, as many of the models are scaled to 1/106th (the old 'standard' 15mm vehicle scale), same as QC.

The difference is quite noticeable, my PSC T70s tower over my Skytrex ones, and my Skytrex Churchills are hilariously small. The only exception are the Skytrex bren carriers, which are vast.

So, as noted above, best to not mix manufacturers. Strangely, my QRF M3 Stuarts are rather on the small side, which is odd, as generally QRF and PP are identical in size. They are very old castings though.

You're safe with PSC, those are all scaled to 1/100 like Peter Pig.

Battlefront/Flames of War is also 1/100 (and make very nice Pumas!)

Personally, I'd go with PSC M5 Stuarts and BF Pumas.

Except that BF doesn't seem to be making Pumas these days.

Also keep an eye on Butlers Printed Models … he's releasing new stuff all the time. It is inexpensive, and a lot of it is very good although there are striations from the printing process.

The pumas set from forged in battle are the best on the market in my opinion.

Battlefront/Flames of War is also 1/100 (and make very nice Pumas !) .

They are OOP atm , until they get re-released for V4 FOW

They have them in with their tanks game still but I have seen the box set on EBAY

You can mix all types for 15mm . If they are a little out ,painting normally blends them in.
