I have received many E-mails asking for information about the models, the make, year and other questions. This list covers the manufacturers. I was one of the first cutomers of the Squadron Shop and still deal with them. I buy many kits on E Bay and if I need a specific kit I go to Hobby Town in Albany NY because they carry almost all models by all makers. Most of the vehicles are in 1/35th scale with a large number of 1/32 scale mixed in. I do not use the decals or some parts when making these models. Many of the barrels on guns 20mm and up are replaced with brass. I have a huge parts collection and thousands of decal sheets. If you need a given decal or a small part or two check the decal pages on this site or e-mail. I also have most of the boxes and all have small parts on sprus. I have most of the kit makers right but I am searching my barns for the boxes and looking through the decal sheets to make sure I have them all right.

Just a note about scale. Though the manufacturers state scale they are often off a bit. An example would be some of the M4 Sherman kits. Both Monogram kits are 1/32 but the Revell Black Magic kit in 1/40 is the same size and both are the same size as the Tamiya/Academy E8s in 1/35. The MP M50 kit ia bit smaller. The New Ray M4 in 1/32 is about the same size as the Tamiya Jumbo in 1/35 and both are smaller than the Tamiya and Academy 1/35 Easy 8 kits. Another example would be that the New Ray King Tiger in 1/32 is exactly the same size as the Tamiya King Tiger kit in 1/35. In my army all these kits work well together.

I have begun to add boats to the Green Army. They are attached to the 6th Marine Division but operate with many units along the stream. The boat models will be listed at the bottom of this page.
