1:64 1936 Cord sedan, Hot Wheels, found cheap on FleaBay. Slightly on the small side for 28mm pulp, but such a neat design that it's forgiven.

I am going to have to repaint it, as mine has a stupid logo on the roof. Pity, it's a lovely burgundy colour otherwise.

You can get them on Ebay from various retailers in China. All up with postage they are about $18.00, although if you buy in bulk you can knowck the postage costs down. I bought three last year. Excellent little models, really well detailed. Good to go out of the box, though I've repainted mine. I've been contemplating replacing the AAMG with the Eureka one but the one that comes with the model is perfectly good.

@Col Stone Ten of them? Hmm it's an arms race. I want some more too!

Oh and the intriguing thing about these is that the ones I bought had a little flyer in Russian about the T-55 and purported to show other tanks in the range like a T-62 and T-34. I've searched high and low for these but no joy yet.

Christ, man...! I thought I had collectors mania but I feel I run into a master. :)

Still, it'd be grat if you brought that to SLAM. I never playeed tank battles in 28mm (1/56), only with little paper squares (Blitz Krieg)or 1/155 scale plastic things (FoW).
