Hobby Fan
Modeling the U.S. Army in WWII

Hobby Fan is a Taiwan company that produced a batch of WWII figures following an interesting run of Vietnam GIs. They seem now to have cycled back to Vietnam. They also have some accessory sets for U.S. vehicles of both wars. Full resin kits are hard to come by, and often range $150-200 on Ebay. The company also distributes AFV Club kits.

Quality is very good, with crisp sculpting and clean molding. Prices tilt a bit higher than comparable figure sets, with a pair going for around $25 and the four-figure sets pushing $45.
