Vehicles

 Wargaming in eras after WWI requires vehicles.  Each decade the variety of vehicle types increased.  Deciding which types of include in your battles is one issue.  Another is where you obtain the vehicles.  This brief post compares Airfix plastic, Matchbox, and Corgi vehicles.  The scale of the figures should, of course, match with the scale of your figures.

The vehicles shown in the photos are placed with Airfix 1/76 figures, but Airfix 1/72 look about the same.  The first picture shows a Corgi Tiger tank.  The second picture is a Corgi halftrack.  The third picture is two Matchbox Humvees.  The last picture shows an Airfix plastic tank.  Assembly was required on the last one and of course I messed that up.  The Corgis and the Matchboxes are diecast.  The Corgis have the highest level of detail.  They are handsome vehicles.  The Corgis shown were only $12 because I bought them on sale from Amazon.  This is affordable if you do not intend to build a large army.  However, if you do not watch for sales the price of a Corgi can be prohibitive.
