Who makes the best Jerry stuff, in particular, I'm after quad 20mm and 37mm AA guns and crews please?

I like Pendraken for vehicles and larger pieces of equipment, Minifigs for figures. I'm not sure if there are dedicated crews for the AA guns you mentioned but various infantrymen can be easily converted be bending their legs, for example, so they can be a sitting AA gunner.

The new Pendraken re-sculpts are lovely, detail is excellent I was speaking with Dave and he said they were soon releasing the next batch, which were 19 half track variants. Are the weapons you are after, half-track mounted?

Could be if the vehicles are sculpted crewed up ready for action?

My 10mm WW2 collection is from Pendraken and Minifigs.
All the vehicles are from Pendraken. They are lovely models and i am completely happy with them. Also they have a lot on offer so you can get nearly all you want from one manufacturer which means you dont have problems with similar tanks being 2 different sizes.
The Minifigs vehicles actually have more detail and are cast better i.e. tanks are cast in four separate pieces compared to pendrakens two.
The reason i chose Pendraken was the price. Although Minifigs vehicles are only roughly £1 more expensive it adds up fairly quickly (small game - a few tanks, 3 trucks for the infantry sections, prime haulers for the guns etc - about 15 vehicles each side- already  £30 more expensive than Pendraken).
My infantry are from Minifigs. Pendraken probably have more detail and paint up better but in my opinion Minifigs have better proportions.
On the artillery the better casting and detail from Minifigs made a difference and I stayed with them.

The Arrowhead stuff are works of art but Pendraken are my hands down favourites in 10mm.
