SPECIAL TIP 1: Suppliers
Jadar Models in Poland is a very fine general supplier where you can find otherwise hard-to-get kits and accessories from Eastern Europe. They have a fine site, and very good service. Higly recommended! Blitzkrieg Models in the UK is firm with a nice range and fast service, and a lot of otherwise hard to get kits, like MGM and Bull Models: Click here to see their home page. Another European Supplier with a wide range and a good stock at hand (i.e. fast delivery) is 7th Company in Portugal! The French firm of Special East is another European Supplier with an impressive range and good stock ready at hand. Tracks & Troops in the Czech Republic have a *very* wide range of 1/72-76 scale resin kits, including many of the above mentioned companies. Hobbyterra in the Ukraine is a supplier of kits from the ex-USSR countries and they have a very good site. I have tried them, and their service is really first-rate. Their prices are super! Hannants in the UK are of course one of the biggest model suppliers you can find on the web. Reliable albeit a bit slow, perhaps.


SPECIAL TIP 2: Matador, of course
A manufacturer that I think is of special interest to modelers of WW1 Military Models is Matador Models in the UK. Besides the AFV kits mentioned above, they also sell WW1 soft skins kits, artillery pieces - including Limbers and Gun Crew -, AFV accessories, like Fascines and tracks for the Mk:s I to IV. They can be bought through the Scale Link hompage. They also have their own site. and they can be reached via e-mail. 

SPECIAL TIP 3: More Suppliers
The German supplier United Fun that carries a large range of 1/72-76 scale kits, both resin and plastic, from among others Cromwell, Kora, Milicast, CMSC and Emhar. Another German supplier of smallscale military kits is Smallscale.de. And yet another interesting supplier is MC Modelbau in Germany, and a new one in Britain showing promise is Lone Wolf Models.

SPECIAL TIP 4: Figures
If you need some men to supplement your WW1 Military models then you MUST take a look at IT Miniatures EXTENSIVE figure range. (But note, that they also make quite a number of vehicles, artillery and even some tanks - wargaming style.) I tell you: their range is second to none when it comes to subjects! Here you can find such things as Italian Arditi, i.e. Storm Troopers, Austro-Hungarian Artillery Crew and Russian Imperial Army Staff. And lots of others. Check them out! Also, the very impressive WW1 range of HÄT is now perhaps the best you can find, and it keeps expanding! DO NOT MISS IT! HÄT is a must for anyone who needs WW1 Figures in Braille Scale. And if you need 1/72 scale figures, I can think of no better place than the Polish firm Kamrat - they have an excellent site and sell figures from all manufacturers, including some ones that are pretty hard to get.

SPECIAL TIP 5: Magazine
The French bilingual magazine "Minitracks", is dedicated solely to 1/72-76 Scale AFV Modelling, and that alone makes it worth reading and supporting. In addition to this, it covers WW1 Military subjects better than any other magazine on the market. So get it! Klick on the logo below to visit their site:
