I have a review for you of excellent new products from Blitzkrieg Miniatures in the UK. I came across them from a thread on TMP which was promoting their product, I had never seen their stuff before & could not find a review of it either. Anyway, I thought I'd take a risk and ordered their Mk IV Churchill & a Staghound Armoured Car. I struck up a bit of an email conversation with Paul from Blitzkrieg & told him that I would be doing a review of his product on my blog, well lo & behold he has also sent me a Tiger tank to review free of charge (cheers Paul!). I received the product in about a week from the UK, which is pretty quick turnaround compared to other stuff I've ordered from the UK. The AFVs were very well packed and sustained no apparent damage from their journey. I have used a series of photos of the product to help illustrate the review, including some comparative shots.
To save needless duplication please have a look at the full review on my blog:

I highly recommend this product- and I am in no way affiliated with the company. :) Cheers,
Jacksarge. |

Greatly appreciate the review, Jacksarge, particularly the comparison shots. Look like really crisp castings with good detail. Must browse over there right away. I would really, really like a quality SOMUA S35 in 1/72. |

No worries, just drop them a line, Paul is very willing to take on people's requests for new products. |

The Churchill and Staghound look superb ! Not sure if it was due to the slight angle of the shot, but was the Tiger a bit under-sized next to the Dragon? Thanks for the great review… |

Looks like that to me too. Is it because one is painted and the other not, therefore fooling the eye? |

Hi Chaps, Not sure about the size difference, maybe because one was painted and the other not or maybe the camera angle? I am sure Jacksarge ill be able to help put the matter to bed for you kind regards the team at Blitzkriegminiatures |

Sorry you blokes for my slowness in replying.
I did not notice any appreciable differences in size between the two models. It may, as you say, be an optical illusion. Kind Regards,
