1/56 France 1940 Vehicles; Pz 38(t) & Sdkfz 10/4

[Captain Darling]

Now that I'm happy with the CoC rules I'm building up a selection of support vehicles for use with my 1940 forces...

I recently completed a Warlord 1/56 Panzer 38(t)...


It will eventually get some light weathering, my thoughts on this kit and Warlords Renault R35 are on the TSOG Blog...

I also finished a kit of an Sdkfz 10/4 that I actually picked up quite a while ago when War Time Miniatures were clearing out a lot of their 1/56 stuff so it was 'at the right price' i.e. really cheap. When I got my parcel it was put aside as there were no assembly instructions and I had no idea to properly complete the FLAK gun! Move on a couple of years and I've looked at this kit again as it would now be of use for my CoC forces. I got some assembly help from AGN Miniatures and went ahead. It was an easy build and an even easier paint, yup just grey!


More pictures and my thoughts on the Sdkfz 10/4 kit are on our blog too...

Nice work on the Panzer 38(t). It sounds like a good kit.

The R35 review reinforces my concern over some (but not all) resin kits. As you say, the contrast is marked.

Yeah, the Warlord R35 unfortunately is a rather bad example of a resin tank. Both the Blitzkrieg one, but especially the Rubicon one are light years ahead.
