1st Corps intend to release lots more in 1/48 for the Early War. ;)

Well done.

Post by: SABOT on January 14, 2020, 02:47:46 PM: I binned my considerable collection of 1/56 as up against these beauties my smaller kits just doesn’t look right any more.

This, in spades.

My head 'knows' that 1/56th is 'right' but visually, to me, especially when figures are based and the vehicle isn't, just looks too small.

Post by: Shahbahraz on January 14, 2020, 08:17:48 PM: Ok, well, when 1st Corps actually release some BEF, I will replace the 1/56 German armour I have, and use the 1/48 for German and BEF. The French will be stuck with 1/56

Post by: Ultravanillasmurf on January 14, 2020, 08:20:06 PM: I am sticking with 1/56 for WW2, not to say there are no 1/48 from 1st Corps that interest me (such as the BA-64 and the T34/85).

BEF troops are with the sculptor.

Post by: Westfalia Chris on January 15, 2020, 09:21:22 AM: This is great news for my 1941/42 Germans. Those are the ones I'd been missing in 1/48, and they look excellent.

Post by: Shahbahraz on January 15, 2020, 07:54:20 PM: Oooh.. wonder whether they will be ready in time for Carronade?

Then I have got to get me some of those dinky Carriers... and a BEF Vickers VI, and a couple of Matildas! Whoo hoo.

Post by: Marine0846 on January 16, 2020, 12:22:45 AM: I have always liked the look of 1/48, 1/50.
Not that one scale is better than another.
Each to his own.
I look forward to the larger scale British A9, A10, A13.
I have not seen them on the market.
But I must say, WWII has been on my back burner for awhile.
