After I've posted a list of potential 15mm figures for a S.T.A.L.K.E.R-type setting, here are several vehicles to serve as transportation - or, if abandoned, as terrain - in a S.T.A.L.K.E.R-type setting:
* QRF Mil Mi-24 Hind E, as used in the Zone.
* QRF T-72 and T-80, for your armour needs.
* QRF BTR-80, a common terrain feature in the Zone.
* QRF Gaz 66 Truck, common terrain in the Zone.
* QRF Ural Truck, another good terrain feature or transportation.
* Peter Pig GAZ 469 Jeep, common in the Zone.

Does anyone know where I can get cranes, tractors and Russian-type civilian cars in 15mm?

Some nice 15mm stuff there. Sadly I have no idea about civilian stuff in 15mm.

Would typical 1-Dollar Store (or, locally, 1-Shekkel Store, which is about 25 cents) small toy cars work well as terrain and/or vehicles for 15mm gaming?

Possibly... If they're matchbox/hotwheels size, they're usually too large when placed next to 15mm, but I think they'd work fine as terrain.

Well, I'll just buy one pack and test it out; it's not that it would cost me much :)

You could try your local model train store too.

I'm not sure if there are model terrain stores around here in Israel... I'll check in Tel Aviv (about 40 minutes by train from where I live), if there is a model train shop in Israel, it would probably be there.

EDIT: I googled this and apparently there is one (maybe the only one?) model train store in Israel, and is in Haifa (2 hours by train from where I live, plus 20-60 minutes by bus). But I don't know how much of their stuff is 1:100 or 1:120 scale, which are essentially 15mm.

hmm that does make it difficult to get things in, I expect you may be limited to mail order then.

I'll look in the 1-shekkel (circa 25 cent) stores near where I live, then. I saw several toy cars there that looked close to 15mm.
