All good fun!
If I bought in, it would be something I’d have to get both sides for.
That being the case, I fancied something a bit different.

So, 15mm then... FoW, obviously. What else is available?

I don't think PSC or Zvezda have much for you apart from the Lee/Grant. Of course there are a load of 3d printer files out so I'll try some out when my machine arrives.

For the Japanese, it's Battlefront https://www.flamesofwar.com/online_store.aspx , QRF http://totalsystemscenic.com/ or Peter Pig http://www.peterpig.co.uk/ . PSC also have Stuarts, Shermans & Valentines, the latter seeing some use in Burma. http://www.fireandfury.com/painting/bur ... gguide.pdf by one RMD has some hints.

BTW PSC do sell single sprues so you don't have to buy the boxed set to get one tank.

That's not why you're a massive deviant.

Just realised why my WAT package hasn't turned up in the post yet.

I'm supposed to pick it up from the TFL stand at Salute tomorrow....... :oops:

That’s a great resource from RMD - with links to more good stuff.
More types were in-theatre than I imagined, too. This has got potential.

I think I've found Zvezda's simplest kit. The Pz II has 5 parts, hull top & bottom, left & right track assemblies and the turret.
