Wowzers @ Chris Townley: link A shameless steal…but go check out the new plastic StuG, Cromwell and Comet direct! |

These really do look good. What with BF's increasing moves into plastics and PSC's ever growing catalogue 15mm is taking leaps and bounds in quality and affordability. Thanks for sharing. |

Plastic Comets…that's a big investment in what is essentially a paper panzer. |

BF have done the Pershing in plastic too so plastic Comets is not a huge shock. To be honest I was rather hoping that BF would be making something I don't already have access to in plastic or at least a significant part of what they are releasing being new to the 15mm market in general. Something like a Priest/Sexton kit for example where you might want to pick up all the models from the same source and thus encourage people to buy their versions of the other stuff. |

I agree with Hammy. BF would be a sure-buy if they did Priest/Sextons, M10s, and everything else on the Sherman chassis. I don't want to mix makers, even though PSC and BF are nearly impossible to tell apart on the tabletop. |

McWong, A whole division of them seeing action not enough for you then, eh? 3RTR recorded Comet losses equivalent to a third of their full strength in the last month of the war, so please don't suggest that they didn't see combat. Personally, I can't wait for a decent Comet model. |

The plastic Comet is good news. Heavy tanks are such a pain in resin and metal. My only resin/metal tank is a Bergepanther, and it is like a rock. Weighs as much as the rest of my German tanks combined. If I drop it, I'll surely have to repair and repaint. "Big" question is who will make a Konigstiger first in plastic. BF has to try to avoid competing with their own accumulated inventory. PSC tries to make kits that also work before 1944. So who will crack first? |

Their largest deployment was the Berlin victory parade wasn't it ;) |
