"First to Fight" models from Poland has really done justice to the tanks and equipment of early WW2. Any wargamer in the 20-25mm/ 1/72nd scale range who have bought and built these premium kits will attest to their accuracy, crisp moulding and detail, and brevity of assembly; a long awaited characteristic received happily by the weary modeler/wargamer, who had been accustomed to long drawn out assemblies of kits with far too many parts! That's why I am surprised that the new offering of the Pz35t from "First to Fight" is actually out of scale and way undersized for an accurate reproduction in the published scale on the box of 1/72nd scale. Anyone knowledgeable in the dimensions of these vehicles will know the Pz35t was a little longer, and a little wider than it's brother the Pz38t. The "f2f" (abbrev) kit looks to be more like the size of an FT17, or more like in 1/76th or even HO 1/87th train scale! I was diappointed, and hope the "f2f" company will redress and correct this defect; I thought of using them as the earlier 3 man czech tank, but don't know if the Germans used them at all. They do look a little embarrassing next to my Pegasus Pz38t's and are hard to ignore. Anyone else find the same conclusions? Happy 2017! Vikingkelt. |

The post was put up by mistake, computer glitch, call it what you like; it was an honest mistake. Would you please forgive this perfectly human error; I am a new comer here; I just don't understand why folks are so ready to be so judgemental, nasty & mean; nobody has a sebse of humor, or kindness anyone. Please don't state the obvious, it was a glitch since I'm using a smartphones' tiny keyboard to type; hard to move the screen, etc… please forgive, step back and think before you pounce. |
