Looking for a review for some 38Ts for Rommel in EW Flames of war….

Doesn't have to be BF. Indeed, I'm keen to try something different. I'd love to hear reviews, opinions, and suggestions.

TIA,

Madcam.

I have three of the zvezda Pzr 38T's, nice models, they went together very smoothly, excellent price, very much designed for gaming with a minimum of bits that could break off. On the downside, designed for gaming, so not highly detailed.

I like the Battlefront one, but the Zvezda one is very nice, and a bargain, so best value comfortably. Old Glory / Skytrex is also excellent, but value for money depends where you are – if you're in the US it would probably be my pick (with the OG army discount) but in Europe, Zvezda's the value choice.

That said, you can't do much better than this for a look – it predates the Zvezda one, but is a great rundown of other models:

You might look at the Quality Castings model, it's a little small but very nice nonetheless:

I do like Zvezda.

Here are a couple of 38Ts from my 22nd PD …

On the left a Skytrex hull with Zvezda turret, and, right, the Zvezda hull with Skytrex turret.

The models are the same size to within a tiny fraction (so the parts are pretty much interchangeable) … the sculpting on the Zvezda model is more precise but less prominent (so, the rivets, so typical of this tank, are smaller and there are more of them – more accurate but easier to blank out with a clumsy paint job frown) …

I would have no problem recommending the Zvezda model – it's a nice tank at a nice price.

Plastic Soldier Company are about to release their Pz38(t)

I have a load of the Zvezda ones but will probably add PSC ones to let me have open hatches for commanders.

Zvezda are the best. Plus being cheap.

The Forged in Battle one is pretty good too.

I guess yours don't get much use sgt Dutch. The tracks have gone rusty! :-)

Fred Cartwright04 Sep 2014 4:09 a.m. PST

Oh and another vote for the Quality Castings model. Very nice.

I'd wait a couple of weeks until PSC release theirs, I suspect a new bar will be set then
