Q: Where do I get [[insert vehicle here]] cost-effectively in quantity?
A: We don't have an exhaustive list but I'll try to list some less common units in this post. Either cheap or quick assembly kits.
1/72 (20mm):
Armourfast: M10, M36, Sherman Firefly, Achilles, Crusader, Cromwell, SU-85, SU-100
Plastic Soldier Company: Sherman Firefly, ZiS-2, T-70, Stuart, T-34/76 /85
Zvezda: 2pdr, Soviet flak gun, Flak 88, ZiS-3, Soviet AA
Roden: IS-3
Italeri: IS-2, M7 Priest, Sherman Jumbo
First to Fight: Pz.35(t), Bofors, 20mm Flaks, 10.5cm leFH, trucks, 7TP, Vickers E, 75mm leIG, pak36, Bofors 37mm, Reneault FT, TKS, PzIII, PzII, Wz.34 armoured cars, PzI, TK-3
1/100 (15mm):
Zvezda: They have a great range of quick assembly 1/100 kits for their own wargame. They work great with Ostfront and are dirt cheap. Just a quick search gets me to this list:
Tiger I, Katyusha, Matilda, Pz.38(t), PzIII, Flammpanzer III, StuG III B, PzIV D, IS-2, KV-1, M3 Lee, PzII, Sd.Kfz 222, Sd.Kfz 251, BA-10, BT-5, T-26, SU-152, T-34/76, T-34/85, Stuart.
QRF Models: An amazing and wide range of models for all periods, not just WW2.
When it comes to the bulk of my forces, I personally get my 1/100s from Zvezda and use Italeri, Armourfast, Plastic Soldier Company and FtF for my 1/72 needs.
edit: I'll be adding links to store or catalogue pages over time, I'd appreciate some catches, too.
