I now have all 4 of these and am working on getting them done. Although they are in various stages of progress, I thought this would let people see the basic differences.

From left to right: Company B, Blitzkrieg, Warlord, and JTFM.

There's more details about them on the blog.

Nice job on the finished ones. I will probably get one of the JTFMs.

Not being familiar with the companies building armor in this scale who is JTFM and do they have a website?

idontbelieveit27 Jan 2014 9:16 a.m. PST

@Soldat. Thanks for the kind words, but the gray ones are far from done. I still need to put turret numbers on the sides and then weather them.

@Heisler. Yes, diewaffenkammer.com

If you also use pre-based models, AGNM has a 1/56 Pzr IIIJ with a one-piece hull and separate turret with metal add-ons:

It looks like you will need to do a fair amount of work on the Warlord model as gaps can be clearly seen were the track units have been mounted onto the hull.

It looks like your favourite is the JTFM model.I have a Stug 4 which I bought for a painting completion as I mainly model 15 and 20mm. The amount of detail on the JTFM model is amazing although they are a little more delicate than the others.

Yeah, I don't really know what to do about the gaps on the warlord model. Any filler I put in is going to be hard to sand down because of the location. It's a pretty awful design.

@andygamer – you know, I think I knew about the AGN one, but I always forget about them because of the cast on bases. thanks for reminding me.

Well you could fill it as normal and then place stowage or foliage over some of the filled areas . I think it may help .

I certainly wouldn't scrap it even though you may just feel like doing :)

Yeah, stowage can cover a multitude of sins I guess. If it were late war I could hide it with some tree branch camouflage. Hmmm, maybe I could do that anyway.
