Model AFV Manufacturers Contact List Further to Small Scale Scene itself, my column in Military Modelling, in here you will find the names and addresses of all the Model AFV Manufacturers of which I am aware, and of which I have seen examples of their products. I will list them in alphabetical order, with addresses, and what scales they produce kits/accessories in. The list is what I describe as a "live" document and I update it as new information becomes available and I have the time to add it. It's never "complete" even as it is but will continue to grow. Any manufacturer wishing to be added can contact me via E-Mail, or by regular post via Military Modelling Magazine. Last Updated, 5th April, 2008
