Okay I got a hold of the Battlefront Plastic Panzergrenadiers boxed set and I am very impressed with it. The panzer grenadiers themselves are well sculpted with minimal flash and excellent detail. What I was most impressed with were SdKfz 251 Hanomag halftracks. Holy Cow they are excellent The models assemble very easily with no fuss at all! I assembled mine with Testors Model Cement at about ten minutes a model. I have very high praise for this kit and I was so impressed I got two additional individual models. I can't wait to get the Panzergrenadier HQ kit, which I have on order. If its anything like the Original kit then I'm in for another treat! I very highly recommend this kit. So much so I give it Two Thumbs Waay Up! I will get two additional kits to round out my platoon along with some more individual halftrack models. Happy modeling and salut y'all!

Good to know! I saw pics of the plastic panzer grenadiers, and they are so much better than their metal infantry – who all look like they've been chasing parked cars. :( The PSC plastic infantry are only … ok … I've painted some up and they just don't wow me. So good to know that BF is following on its success with the infantry with plastic half-tracks too. You should show pics! |

I have them in both 15 and 20mm and I agree with you. They are incredible models! |

Battlefront makes them in 20mm?? |

Whilty I like PSC, the Battlefront sculpts for the plastic infantry are lovely and the vehicles excellent. The new shermans allow you to magnetise the different weapon options and are very sturdy little kits that fit together well. More please. |

Would it hurt to mention the scale once in a while? |

@donlowry
Battlefront mentioned in the title are the producers of Flames of War and are exclusively 15mm. Fatman |

Apart from their aeroplanes which are 1/144. :) |

I got a couple of boxes, and really like them. |

Sorry, PZ IV, I misread and thought he was talking about the PSC halftracks. |

Would it hurt to mention the scale once in a while? Everyone knows Battlefront is 15mm. |

Obviously I didn't know, nor do I expect to remember. |
