Small Scale Military Headquarters

http://tanks.deagostini.co.uk/ Much to my surprise as I went for last minute Christmas shopping I was confronted by issue 1 of "combat tanks" the part works 1/72 tanks that have been selling in Europe for the last few years (there is even now a second series in europe of just German ww2 vehicles). S...

ah bugger. Well spotted.

Did not realise these has started to apear. Very important is to look at that sellers other items list he has the full range and there are some excellant unusual vehicles there.

I am stunned finally adragon tank I actually want to buy. That looks a beauty.

Does anybody out there own any of the K&C recce jeeps that could put up a phot with one alongside traditional 54mm troops eg Conte or similar.

I know many of the K&C vehicles do dip down to 1/32 scaels rather than the usual 1/30 and I would really like to be able to use these jeeps.

Model shops in Britain often have the W Britains stuff and In my opinion some of it is very good indeed but the tracks on the armour still puts me off. I do however really like the figures. Incidentally there are a lot of K & C fans and I think I should mention that I believe the Britains vehicles a...

My No1 1 choice would be an LRDG 30cwt truck.

Of course it would need a matching jeep.

britains have been around forever as a toy soldier company and 5 or so years ago I would have said stay clear. However there stuff gets better each year and some of there latest stuff is very good indeed. I am forcing myself to not buy them :( The reason being I know that if i start ill not be able ...

w britain have quite an excellant range of WW1 1/32 figures.

Painted pewter so not cheap but the quality is pretty good.

to be honest its not as easy as it sounds. I do occasionally attempt to paint vehicles and figures and with a lot of practice my stuff now comes out at a standard that is frankly ... still a bit crap. You do need to try it though some people have a real talent for this sort of thing sadly I am not o...

Not the newest recon ive ever scene on here :) I had a set of these on my Birthday cake for about my 12th birthday (I am 41). If you like them its worth noting that those 6 molds are avilable from several manufacturers in various forms. The good news for you as you like them is that there is about 6...

I am one of those that doesnt really like the K&C vehicles. However they are definately getting better, if they can just keep the scale constant and correct (lol and shrink them a bit) then I would actually buy the stuff. That tractor really does look good even if its of a subject I would never actu...

As always with internet sites accuracy may not be certain but ... http://www.wwiiequipment.com/17pounder.aspx Note the nearly 10,000 17pdr guns made in the UK alone between 1943 and 1945. (ie that is not imported from the commonwealth) As I said before that Tiger is still a deathtrap if hit by one o...

Id actually like to see that as well :) My understanding is normally you would get 3 squadrons of shermans per regiment. (the 4th being recce and stuff) the squadrons being 4 groups of 4 tanks, 4 of which would normally be fireflys. (so 1 in 4) It was also apparently a preference to add another fire...

quoted above is a number less than 100 operational tigers across the whole of the western front, My understainding is that sort of number was common through the whole war on both eastern and western fronts. IE a very small number over a huge area, just to show the differance in numbers of those big ...

well looking on the manufacturers website and the distributers ones gives no clue on price or availibility :( However one thing I do now is ceasars 1/72 figures get very good reviews and are one of the best availaible plastic 20mm figure ranges. so painted versions is a definate yay ! Oh and the nor...

lol they have me all excited , REALLY WANT THEM !

assuming they are not very expensive i will buy all 6 sets without another thought.

Probably have to be less that $10, £10 to have a real chance at selling.

http://www.landroverclub.net/Club/HTML/Pink_panther.htm Note the SAS were so happy with Pink as a camo colour they used it from ww2 all the way up to the first gulf war and I rather suspect they know a little about the subject. There is a story of a german Panther Tank in pink but i cannot easily fi...

"sry guess my North Africa theater paint schemes trivia is a lil rusty. Anyone know why they painted it this color?" Yep this was too do with experimentation in camoflague colours done by the royal navy. Funny enough the paint scheme isnt a million miles from the sort of urban camos you get now. If ...

"Least-yup the matilda for me as well. The actual tank sin't horrible in itself but the paint: yech! Who paints a tank blue to camoflage in the desert?????" You know that first series Matilda is probably my favourite full stop. The paint scheme although horrible is actually extremely accurate and th...

"why have you vowed that?"

financial reasons and the fact that even my loft has no space left. 1/32 just takes up too much room when you start getting to the 50+ vehicles level.

As long as conte dont release painted plastic WW2 ill be able to hold off.

My latest recon to Modelzone today showed a lot of new goodies. The latest batch of 1/32 had arrived including a very nice Stuart tank that I was quite impressed with , the Flak mounted half track a new scheme T34 and the stug 3 with tank riders. The 1/72 halftrack and howitzer was also there but th...

not one to be disapointed on.

The first FOV Matilda is a true gem.

the fact it is an unusual choice just makes it better.

This is my first HM tank and I am happy to say this is a great start. The fact that is a true die cast and has a real heft to it gives it a fair edge I think. I will be buying this range. With Dragon, FOV , Admiral , HM and Easy model its truely becoming the golden age for 1/72. What is particularly...

I do hope it was none of you lot who bought any of the other maus variants, for god sake dont encourage them :( cant believe they are bringing out another one. I absolutely do not get models of tanks that basically did not exist in any real form and certainly did not fight. even as a sci fi type pie...
