IXO Pz I B review, with photos added 10.5.10

Post by Panzer_M » Fri Oct 01, 2010 2:53 pm

Comparing the 234/3 "unfinished" model by HM to the IXO Pz I B I just got in today..and the Pz I is 100x better. Do this versus, with the 234s as they are the only german armour released at the moment..I would have rather done the Pz I vs Pz II, but I hate to say from the photos of the OOB Pz II, IXO beat it with it's Polish Campaign Panzer.

The only fault I have with the Mk.I is the eyeliner around the visors..but the model has the roadwheels done right, numbers and Nat.Markings(yellow crosses for poland'39) are sharp. Exhaust is rusted nice(feature missing from both of HM's 234s and upcoming Pz II by the way). The IXO also has a white bar on the rear deck for aerial ID...which I think is correct for 1939, in 1940 Orange was used as was National Flags(Nazi Govt, not the Naval ensign Aka the Third Reich Battleflag, which has the bars added to the Nazi flag as well as a Iron Cross(where our union is on our flag). Also the smoke rack on the Pz I is there, as is a radio mast, headlights are moulded correctly, and the pionier tools on the panzer look to be correct, and complete for the OMV. Even the rear intake vent is actually a vent and not a decal or painted on...and better defined than the attempts HM made with the 234s.

and the Pz I is 1/2 the size of the 234s.

paid 22 for the Pz I and 22/23 for the 234/2 and 234/3

Case wise, both come in part clear cases, both have the unit(and IXO does the Battle) information.

Pics will be up shortly, charging the camera at the moment.
