I was referring to the larger '1/43' vehicles:	Ertl, Corgi, Road Kings,
whoever keeps putting out those wonderful '50's and '60's cars and
trucks, the (really expensive) O scale vehicles you find in good train
shops, etc.

There is also a French company whose name escapes me at the moment that
has been putting out a lot of very nice WWII vehicles and some modern
French AMX AFVs.  Other nice 1/43's are available, including a variety
of HMMVs.  The larger Battle Squads plastic vehicles (M-113, Tiger,
Sherman, Merkava, LVTP-7, etc.) are also approximately 1/43. 
Unfortunately, the smaller Battle Squads vehicles (VW jeep, armored car,
etc.) are closer to 1/72.
