One of the more innovative 1/35th scale manufacturers a few years ago, was Yanks Miniatures. Now comes excellent news of the re-launching of the company from Scotland. It would of course be a misnomer to describe Yanks as simply a figure company, they also produce diorama accesories along with some good-looking busts and some update sets for vehicles. The full list of the company''s products along with some images, can be seen:

This is fantastic news Jim and comes at exactly the right time with all these new allied vehicle releases to populate.
The link to Yanks website at the end of the story isn't working -can you post it here so I can spend some money!

Pat
Ditto on everything! They have some very unique figures here...
I want that website working to see pics of tanker heads, etc.
Tank riders will be very well received, esp. with Warriors release also... Operation Cobra could be a ripping success :-)

Pat, the website ISN'T working - they've been e-mailed to sort it out

I couldn't agree more, there are some amazingly useful figures in that list - it's curious, but Allied is on the ascendancy as never before. I can never remember doing as many 'Allied' stories on the site before

Sweet..... I had been in need of US Tank riders for a future project and knew they had had them. I had found their site but at the time it had only had the Russian/German Stalingrad related figures up. Nice to know they are fully operational again.

Stuart, Yanks are now based in Scotland... Does that answer your question?
