I got some more 15mm stuff today, from Quality Castings in the US. Very nice pewter models. Of SCW interest I got some Italian stuff, namely: 47mm AT gun, 100mm FG [this is the later version ?100/27 as oppose to the 100/17], TL 37 Prime mover. They also do a PzKpw I which from pictures looks excellent. At right, T-26 models Their T-26 is a later version so I've been informed. The German range is extensive with 88mm and other Flak guns, as well as other WW2 stuff, some of which may be usable. Future plans apparently include more Italian stuff, namely 65mm Inf gun and 20mm Breda AA. They also do inf, which have recently been re-designed [& supposedly improved], among which the Italian and French [not all in greatcoat] would be useful for SCW. The range includes the 45mm Brixia and such oddities as Gnome et Rhone Motorcycles. The website and catalogue is at: http://www.tomco.net/~qualcast Downside is getting them......they do worldwide orders [a hefty 30% P&P charge], as alas they don't have a UK or European distributor, and take credit card orders. Unfortunately, HM customs and excise wallop you for VAT and customs duty....and then the Post Office charge you for opening the parcel! I have ended up paying £ 13-77 on top of my order.
