Does anyone have a preference on these? |

they are similar, BF models are a bit simpler to assemble and their HMG a bit less fragile.
It doesn't go much more beyond that in terms of differences. |

PSC have a few more individual parts but you can't beat the price compared to Battlefront. |

PSC halftracks are noticeably smaller than Battlefront. |

Don't BF only make the M3 HT ? As for cost BF's M3 is 28 GBP for 4 with 20 USA crew (also has one decal sheet, and two Unit cards.) , PSC's M5 is 21.95 GBP for 5 with 40 British/Commonwealth crew . |

I have plenty of those, and do like the opticals of Battlefronts slightly better. Just personal preference, and not decisively so. When I mounted my Canadians and had to buy 20 I went for PCS for the pricepoint. You can use both in the same army, though not in the same unit. |

I've got quite mix of M3/M5s from various manufacturers. Compared to metal ones, the PSC ones are hard to beat and from a storage pov, small is good. |
