1/144 scale jeeps and trucks?

[frank2056]

Does anyone make WWII vehicles in this scale? Ideally a jeep, but a 2 1/2 ton truck would be good. N scale seems too small to me.


Thanks

Custom Dioramas do a white metal Jeep & Studebacker 2 1/2 ton fuel truck, as well as British trucks & equipment:

Matador Models do some resin British WWII trucks too & airfield vehicles:

Both based in Britain so I'm not sure how much you'll get stumped for postage.

Thanks for the suggestions so far! There used to be a US distributor for Matador - can't find them now. The PG models stuff looks great, and they take Paypal... but 1/160 is probably too far off scale, unless it's the 1/150 N scale. Feh. Silly train modelers and their funky "scales".

Found Pithead Minatures from Sweden as well Frank, a number of WWII N scale vehicles including a Jeep & a M3 half track:

I think N scale should do you okay, especially with vehicles, even the largest tanks are only going to differ by a couple of mm at most.

when i want to build a 1/144 diorama for my planes, im always thinking a cheap option is to repaint little MicroMachines cars, as they are roughly the same scale

Dragon has a line of 1/144 tanks.  I haven't seen anything else, but they have some WWII in the mix.  They're nice little things, too.
