Title: Can anyone identify these tanks for me?
Post by: therepoman on August 20, 2010, 02:49:25 AM: I got these in a random lot that I picked up.

They looked Russian to me, but I couldn't find anything indicating what they were; either American or Russian.

BF used to make both tanks.I sold about 15 Pershings and 15 Chaffees from BF when I got out of 15mm WW2.

They're both resin... I don't see either on the BF site, unless I'm blind, which is a distinct possibility.

Post by: fitterpete on August 21, 2010, 03:33:10 AM: I don't pay attention to the BF stuff anymore much but I'm pretty sure they make the Pershing for late war again.When they went with army books a few years ago they started with mid war and pulled all the late and early figures.
Edit no your not blind I guess they never got around to redoing it.I never understood why they pulled all those models in the first place when they all ready had them out o_o typical dumb move for them though

Yep, they fought in the Ardennes "Forest," which looks curiously like an open plain.

I am surprised that so many of you made a fundamental mistake though.... this is a King Tiger
