Any thoughts folks on best manufacturer for Ultra-Modern (well vintage now!) Swedes in 6mm?

Cheers

Blimey - H&R - I think that they were the manufacturer who's mini's I originally had back in the 1980's ...
I wonder who's got my original 6mm Swedes now??? Sold on the Bring&Buy at Colours (or Armageddon as it was called then I think) in 1990 ... own up! You know who you are!

Thanks chaps ... I'll do some research.

15mm was tempting Pete - for all of a nano-second - as my primative wargamers 'lizard-brain' clicked into lower-function mode Gimme but sanity overcame greed - I just have no space for a 15mm CWC army. So 6mm it will have to be.

Ah ... must have been genetic Pete ... as 15mm is my usual metal poison of choice!

I must say the H&R website almost takes me back to the 1980s as well ... it's certainly got that retro feel - PDF of a paper cataloge - quaint! But I guess it must 'function' ok but tbf it's a tad archaic.

Does anybody have any pictures of their Swedes they can post? But then if they are the only 6mm option I might as well just bite the bullet & buy them Sad

I was also 'smitten' by the 1946 German range & the armoured trains ... but that's more for FWC.
