I am looking for 1/72 or 1/76 scale buildings for a WW11 Port diorama, any idea’s of manufacturers/prices?
There are scores of manufacturers out there who could fit your bill. Your chosen scale is ban on for 00 railway stuff and Faller, Pola and Dapol make a range of plastic kits. The first two are very expensive however: perhaps £10 for a small house. Check out the Hornby Skaledale range as a reasonably priced resin option and Metcalf cardboard kits are very cheap – £10 would get you a factory. Buy a wargaming and/or model railway magazine for a list of suppliers. If you are up to it, you might try scratchbuilding your own structures from card and computer printed paper. Use any of the huge variety of plastic section for detailing.
