I have a bunch(100+) of the 21st Century(sp) plastic tanks.
These used to be available at Wally World. I have US and German tanks and vehicles, but no Brits or Russians. Who would you recommend for compatable tanks and troops? Thanks,

They are 1/32 scale or 54mm. Check eBay. Hope this helps |

I'm guessin' he's asking about the 1/144 ish ones. |

They're about 1/150th, so Minifigs will work. Possibly Pendraken or Pithead too, depending upon the miniatures. Just don't mix different manufacturers' minis for the same model, in the same unit. |

I've got a ton of them. Minifigs infantry are great. (Minifigs vehicles are a little small). Arrowhead are a great match for vehicles. I haven't seen them yet, but the new Victrix plastics should be a great match. Their infantry are spectacular. |

Thanks for the help. And, yes they are the 1/144th models. Dave |

I have a number and find them on the small side around 1/150th. You are better off with Pendraken and Minifigs to match I think. They are noticeably smaller when next to Dragon, WTM and Arrowhead of the same vehicle. If you dont mix within vehicle type can work. I use their M-7 Priest for example and their M-18 Hellcat with my 1/144th. Their Deuce and a half arent bad. My troops are all Minifig which work well with almost any including true 1/144th. Some of my artillery also Minifig. WTM makes a nice set of 3 AT guns (German 75, Russian 76.2 and British 6pdr which in a pinch can fill in as an American 57mm) and once again if you dont mix within types work well with most figures. |
