1/56 scale vehicles - pros, cons, recommendations

[Eclaireur]

I've done a few more since this strand started, including a Rubicon Pz IV, a Blitzkreig Humber armoured car and now on with a JTFM 'Sherman Mk 1' which I bought via Great Escape Games in the UK.
I agree with Keith on his assessment that when JTFM pull it off, their resin castings are gorgeous. The Sherman currently on my table has things like the headlamp protecting metalwork and towing lugs very nicely picked out.
It's great that Rubicon include decals, and great that JTFM include stowage, certainly on the model I got. If someone included both they'd be very popular because these finishing touches can add several pounds or dollars to the cost of each vehicle,

Thanks Colin.

Foolishly, I have started again on my Perry 8th Army and Afrika Korps. Like you, I find them irritatingly small and fiddly to paint. And yet, paradoxically, absolutely lovely figures full of character.
I love them and I hate them! Gnash!
So I thought perhaps I might get two or three small vehicles for each side, just to keep my interest going... 

You've got drama, that's for sure. 

If I were you I would simply keep everything Perry. I'm sure they'll carry everything necessary at a pace that suits your output rate. 

I am really looking forward to what you come up with,.

You havent mentioned any specific periods of WW2 or nationalities you're interested in but I'd second the suggestion of looking at Trenchwerx if any of their vehicles interest you....
