I plan on using PSC for the vehicles I can buy and need in bulk. How well do Skytrex models work with PSC? I am looking for a company that sells models individually for the one offs I would I need to complement the PSC models I plan on buying in bulk. If not Skytrex, then who? Which Company would you recomend to complement the PSC majority force? |

Which size vehicles are you planning to collect? PSC produces both 15 mm and 1:72 ranges of WWII vehicles. |

Sorry, I am interested in 15mm |

Close enough in scale but not to mix in the same unit. I suggest Zvezda and Battlefront. |

A lot of the Skytrex stuff is a bit on the small side, being the old 1/106th scale (which used to be "15mm"). If you aren't too fussy it is fine, but it is noticeable. If you want 1/100th scale, then as noted above, Zvezda, BF plus Peter Pig, Forged in Battle and QRF. Some of the gun barrels on the metal models are a lot thicker than their plastic pals, which can make them look bigger, even if the chassis are the same size. |

Surely PSC sell single vehicle sprues, labelled as reinforcements on their website? |

Surely PSC sell single vehicle sprues, labelled as reinforcements on their website? I think he is looking for one off vehicles, not any of the standard tank company. On the other hand he might be able to modify a standard Sherman (let us say) to what ever he needs, say a Firefly. |
