Well Rick, our chosen scale hasen't been cheap since the turn of the century. Preiser, IMHO, is the gold standard for 1/87 figs & their other military offerings. ArsenalM, Herpa, WSW, Wespe, Trident are all at or close to that price range except for the older plastic offerings. ROCO, Heiser and Alsacast are less expensive. Fidelis Models, Small Scale Hobbies, Reynaulds, & Walthers are the importers I check with often for buys, as well as E-Bay. Deals can be had. Thanks for following. PaulE
