I recently purchased a couple of 15mm Char B1. It's a pretty nice model, and it was delivered pretty quickly. Some of the edges are slightly rough, but I'm happy with them. Oddly, one was ready to paint and the other had all the supporting sprue still attached. |

I should add that they have an excellent range of French kit. |

If you are after French WWII kits in 15mm you should perhaps try the range of Zebrano models. I purchased a selection from I AM MODELIST in Moscow. The price of each item was good and the service was good. They produce some hard to find and/or convert French vehicles. |

I hadn't heard of them before. I put in the review because Butler's advertise here, and I thought it worth saying how pleased I was with them. |

@madricho
So I checked i-modelist.com and yes, they do have an amazing selection of stuff in every scale i can think of. Thanks for the find. I can see a few orders going their way. (The 1/35th scale civilian vehicles by Roden bring all sorts of skirmish ideas to my fevered brain.) |

Recent additions to the Butlers range are way better than some of the earlier product. They have revamped some models.
There may be printing lines… but usually, Butlers are clever about where they occur… and can often be hidden by stowage / camo.
They usually include one vehicle which has been cleaned from support 'sprue'.
On scales… 1/144 are scaled up from 1/300 so less detailing than from 15mm upwards… which are models in pics.
In UK very pleased with delivery and product in general… have bought loads in several scales. |
