They look great but hopefully the pricing will be more in line with other companies. I can get all of this stuff from other vendors.

Nice job on the M-113 camo, and good to see the BMP, but wish it was a BMP-1, since they were far more numerous during the Cold War.

Ah, I see on the link, it appears both BMPs will be available, so that is good news.

Thanks for sharing the link to the info, and pics.

Can't wait.

Quite. Given it's Battlefront I'm not expecting any groundbreaking rules innovation and I suspect the prices will be excessive.

But if people want to buy their toys and play their games who am I to criticize??

1/300 or 1/285 is the obvious way to go for post WW2 [and even WW2 IMO] but some do like their 15mm.

These models look very nice – especially the Soviet infantry.

Yea, micro is the way forward for the really big battles, but must admit I'm interested in these for smaller actions, pitting a company or two (perhaps three for big club/convention games) vs. a battalion of communist armor.

Hope we get British quickly & Germans

Ill wait for Armies Army releases, superior models and likely half the price.

Well, if these are hard plastic, and as beautifully detailed and well designed as their latest plastic offerings such as the Panther and Comet, I'll happily fork over the readies for these.

Lots of hard plastic cold war kit available from Zvezda already of course; T72, BTR80, Bradley, all of which are perfectly acceptable. Their Abrams is not, however.

Really looking forward to diving into the whole 'Team Yankee' project. And yes, judging from the Novel, these are all company level combat team actions.

McWong7311 Aug 2015 3:29 a.m. PST

Yep, very impressed.

jameshammyhamilton11 Aug 2015 5:28 a.m. PST

I believe that the whole range will be hard plastic.

The images released so far look very good.

Mako1111 Aug 2015 6:39 a.m. PST

Yea, I can't believe Zvezda are selling the M-1 tank like that (a cynical person would say it's a communist plot against the imperialist Americans).

It should be pulled, remastered/finished, and then reissued.

Aren't these just repaints of the resin ones they released for the Arab/Israeli range a little while ago?

Obviously they won't have M1's or NATO/WARPAC troops, though.

No BMP's or T72's in that range, but the M113 family are all based from existing lines. Apart from those this range likely will have more new models than the Fate of a Nation.

Just the M113s. Everything else is new production.

Yay! Plastic BMPs are more than welcome, and that rifle inf looks superb! Lets hope prices will follow their allready excisting range prices..
