Tony is too modest. ;-) Brigade Models offers a fairly
sizeable selection of 15mm vehicles. They match up very
well with GZG's infantry packs (I haven't seen the lone
GZG 15mm vehicle yet, so can't comment on that). I also
use a few 15mm vehicles from DLD Productions, and the
odd dozen or two Corgi/Matchbox/HotWheels/JohnnyLightning/
Maisto/whatnot vehicles. Those are relatively inexpensive
(well, except for Johnny Lightning and Corgi; Maisto stuff
is the best of these at ~$2/vehicle), and doesn't take much
to repaint (if you even want to repaint; I've several air
squadrons of Maisto helicopters for my 15mm forces, as well
as a company each of M1A1s and Bradleys, the latter two
which are undergoing repainting [mainly because I don't
like their colour schema and the whole red GIJoe label on
the sides ;-) ] ).
