I bought the car as a Dinky Toy ambulance and converted it. It was my Christmas holidays project  :D

Eventually it cost about 20 euros.

A Mini Cooper, three Citroen CVs and an Austin Princess taxi from Kmart. They are actually by Welly, listed as 1/60: 1/64 scale but are really 'fit the box' scale. The Mini and the Citroens look perfect against 28mm minis, the taxi looks too small but for $1.00 a piece (60p) I'm not complaining and the Austin is a useful source of spare wheels.

In the Toy section of Kmart? Is Welly the brand?

Yep, Kmart toy department. They have some Kmart specific name on the box, can't remember quite what but the packing is a silver grey IIRC. They are made by Welly. There's also a useful VW Beetle and a Kombi in the range.

Mini turns out at 1/48ish beetle is a bit smaller, closer to 1/56 I'd say (haven't measured) and the kombi is smaller again. The Disney Cars kombi is larger. (1/56ish)

Cheers
Matt.

Oddly enough there are two Minis and I don't mean old vs new models. I bought one at Kmart a year or two back and it is dfinitely smaller than the one I bought a week or so back.

The Disney cars Kombi is a reasonable match size wise for the Akula one and the Welly one ( purchased at a BP servo) is definitely smaller. As I said they're fit the box 'scale' but look good with 28mm minis. The Citroens look spot on. Must hunt down the VW Beetle, haven't had any joy so far.

Damn! My local Kmart only had a 1:24 scale kombi and I didn't notice that you got one from a BP servo, will have to check out the servo. No luck in Target either.

2 1/55 scale BTR-80 & 2 Modern Soviet trucks (same scale). There is a dump truck as well which I might get later. Looking at a read of Fighting Season and some play testing but I may not be back from OS before they finish the testing.

Will need some ANA from Eureka methinks.
