1:76 Scale WW2 Die-cast Cars and a Tractor?

Picked some of these up in Modelzone at Bluewater from Oxford Diecast (can also be found on Amazon) for a bit of scenery for my WW2 English village countryside, I think they can be used for the period (probably not but what can you do as they look the part and were £3.50 each).

Put in a 20mm SGTS Mess figure for scale purposes and have picked up a police car as well since.

    Nice cars. At that sort of price they will be ok.

    Nice cars and I think they will fit in nicely with your English village.

    I think that nun's going to steal one of these cars.

    Nice find and they look pretty darn good. I like a lot of modelzones stuff just don't have the funds to buy it.

    I love love love these. They are absolutely so cute. My son is a car fan, and on his name I enjoy his diecast car figurines. Yours perfect.

    They remind me of the Matchbox classics. We considered saving them perfect in the box and now they would be worth thousands, but instead we wrecked them utterly. These were around 1968-1969 classics from Matchbox.

    While driving to work one morning I passed a huge, and I mean HUGE John Deere. The flipping thing could have eaten my car, it was that big.

    Oh Angry, I love these cars. Today's cars have no style, no class. These are beauties. It would be nice to see these things driving down the road. (The environment and the price of petrol aside)

    Scale looks just fine. Should add some "get-up and go" to the game.
