20mm or 1\72 Early War Germans in metal

Can someone point me in this direction?
20mm or 1\72 Early War Germans in metal.
Online purchases.

It seems all the old manufacturers are no longer producing. Not well covered in metal it seems.

Surprisingly few--there's Elheim who do some early war
Also Early War Miniatures I think.
Also SHQ who do a lot but tend to be at the smaller end of the scale. Depends what you are mixing them with.

A couple of years ago I was similarly struggling. I mourned the passing of Battlefield/Blitz.

AB will be releasing early war Germans in the near future.

Hi, Britannia Miniatures/Grubby tanks produce two ranges, one called "Classic German" and other "Early War". The latter has photos.  Dixon Miniatures also produce a small range. Dixon and CP Models also produce early war SS. FAA Miniatures in the US seemingly still also produce the old 1980s ranges which were very nice. However their $24 flat rate shipping plus UK Customs has rather put me off buying from them!

FAA do still produce early war Germans in the US. 

Simon's Soldiers will soon be releasing a small range of Blitzkrieg Germans -- I think in late May or in June.  I have a good number of their early war French which I quite like and so am looking forward to the Germans. 

Phil Robinson -- do you have a timeline for the AB range?

I don’t I am afraid, saw Tony’s painted masters on FB the end of March but they were still in the pre production stage then when someone enquired. As you would expect they are superb and worth a wait.

Phil Robinson -- thanks for the informative reply.  I am sure the figures are up to AB's high standards.
