Title: Zvezda Panzer II (15mm)

These arrived this morning, so I knocked them out, ready for the table-top. I can't say they're my best work, but they'll do the job.

The model (from Zvezda) is too small for scale. In 1:100 scale they should be 48.1mm long; these are about 43mm. So, no good for the fine scale modelling crowd, but they'll do for my wargaming fetish.

Nice. 8)

I've got a few of these (and some  PzIII's as well)  stashed for my own Fall Gelb project; good to see that they paint up well. And I'm with you on the scale thing; that won't bother me too much either.

In fact, for GF9's Tanks! game, I've got 5 Svezda 1/100 tanks on my table right now (a SU-152, 2 T-34/76 and 2 T-34/85 ones). They scale well with the 'original' Battlefront tanks, although I still have to receive my GF9 T-36 (for the cards) for a true comparison.

But even if the scale (or the proportion) is off, at €2,50 a piece, there's not much to complain of course... ;)



+++EDIT+++ corrected the tank types; I'm not very versed in the designations yet... ::)
