www.qualitycast.com Great vehicles - the best out there, IMHO. Actually, only the newer vehicles are great (the old models were done in the 1950s, IIRC), but most major WW2 types are new models. A lot of the post-WW2 stuff is older models. A bit expensive, and they don't sell to retail stores - you have to do mail-order or see them at Historicon. However, their service is excellent. Some of their models are true kits, meaning they have lots of fiddly little bits that clumsy fingers will easily lose (beware the Bofors 40mm!). But they look great when they're done. The infantry is generally not as good, being mostly old 1970's era sculptures that just don't compare well with newer designs. I think these were the old Der Kriegspielers stuff from that era. Some of their newer stuff shows promise, but some seems to be the old stuff with new heads. I really can't recommend their personnel. More 15mm Primer WWII Miniatures
