Not new, but news to me: 1/16 Sturmgeschutz III G

Post by c44 » Sat Feb 19, 2022 3:04 pm

Two different versions from different manufacturers (MRC Gallery and Das Werk), not pre-assembled and with lotsa parts, but they go for a reasonable price...

Check out some quick reviews of the MRC here...

A longer look at the Das Werk (warning: annoying background music! :wink: )

They look good, just wish they were 1:18 :) . A nice alternative since 21st didn't produce any Panzer III's.
Henlong makes a pre-assembled 1:16 Stug III, if one doesn't have time for the build.

Looking at 1:16 (Hen) Longingly...

Yeah, Normandy, I wish they were 1/18 too...I'm periodically tempted to go after some of the multitude of 1/16 items, but then I talk myself down, I don't want to start another scale (and a bigger one at that) as they don't really mix well with XD ...but Hen Long stuff in particular looks like really good bang for the buck, and it strikes me a little odd that no manufacturer has revived the 1/18 line...HL and others show there's a market for larger scale armor...hear our pleas, somebody...! :(
