MIkes Diecast Tanks and Armour

Common on eBay. Price range from $10-$25, depending on who is bidding, and how eager they are. I paid too much for mine :-)

Roco minitanks are made in Austria and have quite a following! These 1:87 (HO) scale tanks are a favorite of many model railroaders, and can be found in many hobby shops railroad section. Model Power also issues a series of HO scale tanks, which are simply Roco tanks with decals, and sometimes some paint. Detail is fair to good, and some tanks require minor assembly.

The Tiger is from Battle Front Miniatures, a maker of 15mm military miniatures, including a LARGE assortment of tanks. Battlefront uses resin for the main hull/body, and metal for the treads and other details. The SU 100 is a resin cast of Russian manufacture. Both models were painted and sold by Tim at Minipaintr.

Schuco made a nice set of tanks circa 1970's(??), featuring 7 tanks. These tanks were wind up tanks (including a key to wind them up) and featured "harmless sparks, simulated firing". They also featured some accessories (the Sherman has a jeep and some figures, the Panther has a Kubelwagen and figures). BEWARE recent "Schuco Diecast" releases (circa 2004) . These are 100% plastic reissues of Boley's recent Dept 1/87 military releases. If you want them, buy the Boley version, you will save a lot of money.
