Pretty cool. I would imagine there will be a good market for these, and the conversion kits.

Yes and, it goes without saying, extremely well in 15mm/1:100 scale too. Perhaps at least six per box in that smaller scale? thumbs up

It would be nice if there could be space for a few Russian heads in the conversion kit….

I suppose that you could just use ones from the infantry though. Hmm

Looking forwards to so many of the future PSC 15mm releases.

German 8 wheeled armoured cars please :)

When do you expect to have it in 15mm or 28mm? Thanks.

So waiting for these in 15mm.

I need Wasps.

Also exited for 15mm versions…

Ooh, this is the first release from PSC which I`m actually tempted to buy.

Could build a carrier platoon for my desert Free French?

This is excellent news. Well done, PSC.

This is the first plastic model I am tempted to buy, especially the conversion kit for desert and the Aussie heads.

When these come out in 15mm I will be a very happy man. Great job PSC.

I say Catman, I'm not sure if it does the same in other browsers, but in Firefox, on my laptop (which has a smaller vertical resolution than my computer screen), opening the images of the directions results in a window with no scroll bars which makes it impossible to scroll down to see the bottom part. I believe I've run into this before.

An FYI, all the best, the model does look nice.

EDIT: oh, the keyboard arrows work… grin

Personally, I am extremely appreciative that this has been released in 1/72 first, as I have abandoned 15mm for 1/72 :)
I have pre-ordered mine & am really looking forward to receiving it in August.
Please Will, more British stuff in 1/72 :)
Thankyou.

Cheers,
Jacksarge.

I'm a little nervous that the 15mm version might be a little small and fiddly – what do you guys reckon?

jameshammyhamilton06 Jul 2012 3:20 a.m. PST

15mm guns are small and fiddly too… ;)

I can see your point in that some of the parts may be small. 15mm carriers would be great though. It is common to see hordes of the things on the table.

P.S. German 8 wheeler armoured cars :D

Ross Mcpharter06 Jul 2012 3:43 a.m. PST

All models are small and fiddly:)They'll be great!

Fonthill Hoser06 Jul 2012 2:03 p.m. PST

I second the request for Russian heads in the expansion set.

And 28mm

I'd assume that due to 'shrinkage' in 15mm, this size kit won't appear until the 1/72 conversion kit is provided. I expect the 15mm kit will do the basics and the variants all together.

I'm fervently waiting on news as to whether there is going to be a Sd Kfz 251C conversion kit. If not, that will put a big crimp in my Das Reich for Kursk plans. Strange that their new ruleset is for this battle and yet that conversion kit doesn't appear on the cards. I guess PSC expect people to use other companies' models when playing their rules. What a novel and refreshing attitude!

I agree. Instead of just 3 in the box why not 5 or 6?
