Title: Polish tankette, anyone make a 25 or 28mm scale model?
Post by: leadfool on September 18, 2010, 08:14:45 AM

Does anyone make a model whether resin, metal or plastic of a Polish Tankette, the little one with machinegun or the 20mm gun.  I would prefer either 1/48. 1/50 or 1/56 scale. 
Thanks

Lovely little models too.

Hey,
6milphil, thanks, so they actually look ok with 28mm figures?  So often the manufacturer photos make their product look better then it is.  Seeing a gamers picture is worth a lot more. 
Nice concept of Charlie and the twins.

Oh absolutely even though there is an element of "Tanks can't be that small can they?" to them, but that's part of their charm as I see it. Then again compare the German 38t to the King Tiger, tiny to mammoth in just a few years.  :o

They've been handy in game as well as becoming a bit of a personal favourite vehicle. Without giving too much away there's a great psychological effect with Charlie and the twins, typically other players are terrified of Charlie even though it's rather useless, but tend to disregard the twins, but especially with the 20mm option are positively deadly.
