Hobby master did a 1/56th die cast. OOP, but still available from we shops if you google. Will cost you around £15-18

Imprint do a 1:50 resin model, IIRC it costs c£20

The Imprint models are lovely, thoroughly recommended.

Imprint works well with 28mm figures, here's one of their Challenger IIs with some TAG infantry.

I have a plastic model kit in 1:48th unbuilt I don't need:

You can see the kit here:

Not the most recent version, but it may work for you.

PM me if you're interested in it and I'm sure we can work something out.

Cheapest is probably the Kitech (or Zhengdefu) 1/48 M1A1 kit. Not a great model, but tends to sell for about £5 (GBP).

i might get the imprint one and make some tusk thingies and add to it.

I have a whole case of these:

Got them in a trade deal years ago from the manufacturer. Been sort of stuck with them for years. I can dig them out for anyone that wants them. $18 each, painted and come with two figures.

Model is as above, 1:48 scale and all painted with a section of road. i think I still have some T-55's in storage as well. If folks need more pics, I can get them with our 1:56 stuff for scale.

here are a couple of pics of my Zhengdefu abrams model.

The box says 1/48 but it is more close to 1/56.
Its a pretty decent model for the money - although it is incorrect with too few road wheels....
