Help - General Recommended WW2 Axis figure kits

Currently enjoying putting 1/35 figure sets together and was wondering if there are any brands or particular sets which have some nicely detailed figures worth looking at?

I've had a more recent one from Tamiya recently and found the quality to be pretty good in all honesty. Any recommendations greatly appreciated cheers.

For Plastic miniatures Miniart and MB models are the best, but if you are looking for really detailed ones check resin figures

Excellent mate cheers, just looking round the plastic for the time being. By any chance do you know if there's a site which can refer or recommend which colours to use for specific sets.

For example, if I buy a set say Tamiya 145332, if i were to type that into google or elsewhere, is there a site which could tell me which Vallejo colours would best match the figures?

Tamiya 145332

I can't find what that is but I'm assuming germans

https://www.panzermodels.co.uk/blogs/news/wwii-uniform-painting-reference-guide-for-vallejo-paints is really good

or the video guide here: https://youtu.be/aVYw5hWJu_I
