PTE M1

Post by popeye357 » Sun Oct 15, 2006 12:57 pm

Has anyone put the BBI and PTE M1 side by side for comparison?

Is bigger necessarily better? What does the PTE M1 look like? How is it detailed? The reason I ask is that while the PTE figures are a pretty lame as compared to BBI, some of their vehicles such as the Humvee and the desert patrol vehicle look damn good.

Bigger is better if you care about 1/18 scale. The size of the bbi M1 is just right - true 1/18 scale, and in turn huge.
It does not have great detail in terms of opening hatches, engine access or removable stowage, but is nonetheless an impressive beast.
