Somehow, I have missed hearing about Gaming Models in the past. They have some great-looking stuff, and at decent prices.
Gaming models aren't fancy or highly detailed but are good cost effective 15mm resin models. He (Craig) will paint them for you in a mono colored paint scheme, nothing fancy but functional. Their biggest drawback is the resin is brittle and can chip if dropped on the floor.

It’s spotty for me and my friends. Fielding trucks is great to move arty and 88s around. We’ve also seen success using them to funnel in reserves quickly or to relocate troops on a part of the field where you’re decidedly winning and moving them to a sector that you’re getting whipped. The trouble is their super soft skin. That leads me to favor the halftrack transports. But using the Opel trucks or Bedfords can be handle if there is sufficient cover to keep them out of sight. And definitely make sure the enemy has no aircraft or a juicier target than your truck if they do.
Yep; since they're really only used in D-Day (or beach landing) scenarios, I don't see any reason for you to run out and buy any. Shapeway models would be just fine. Heck, you could use paper printouts...
Miniature Tanks Company has 3D print Higgins Boats for a great price. Easy to assemble & do need painted but certainly more cost effective than actual WotC pieces. Print a card & set sail. Also, these are correct scale & WotC pieces are v1 scale.
