"Some advice on 20mm ww2 vehicles and troops" Topic

Hey I've picked up a number of plastic soldier company late war British in 1/72 / 20mm scale for using with the Bolt action rules. I'm looking for some advice on 172 scale vehicles from other companies that look good with the infantry size wise. I like the psc ones buy they come in boxes of 2 or 3 and ill not need that many,plus they don't have that many British vehicles in their range yet!

Any advice is much appreciated! Cheers

Have a look at fast build Armourfast, they come in two to a box. The Stug and half tracks are nice.

plenty of choice for gb ww2 vehicles armourfast, psc and don't forget the other plastic kits and not forgetting the various resin ones as well.

And some of the preassmbled vehicles are good.

Definitely Armourfast.

Hasegawa are more fiddly to assemble, but are fairly economical and the final product looks good.

Avoid Airfix. Even their so-called 1/72 scale items are too small.

Cool cheers guys,looks like I'll be checking out armourfast!

Well, since you have PSC soldiers, recommend you give the PSC vehicles a look, too. I find them quick to build and they look great!

Armourfast are nice and straightforward, but do not usually come with many options. Also Italeri and Pegasus produce fast build plastic kits in 1/72 scale (usually also with two models per box).

Nice thing with PSC sets is that they usually come with a variety of options, so you do not need to build all three of your vehicles the same.

Is there something you are specially looking for, like carriers, trucks, halftracks, Cromwells, Churchills, Shermans or armoured cars?

Bear in mind that armorfast and psc do no decals with their vehicles, so you would need to source those elsewhere (or not), British are sometimes difficult to find if you want to do anything other than 7th, 11th and 79th armd divs.
prepaints can be well worth a look as they can sometimes be picked up extremely cheaply.

Another vote also for hasegawa kits, less fiddly than many other kits
