Why 1/60?
The short answer is I wanted figures that would fit with the Dinky 1/60 diecast vehicles I have picked up from ebay very cheap, but had nothing to go with them.
The slightly longer answer is that the project sort of came together from two directions; I did have a few very nice Brit figures I had bought from Colonel Bill which were a mystery; they were very small and neat (27mm to top of head) and just the right size for the vehicles. I later found out they are Battle Honors, and that I couldn't get any more. So the hunt was on to find some the same size, and the Westwind figs were pretty much unescapable.
The Dinky vehicles don't cover everything I need, so I have had a Comet tank, Universal Carriers and a Daimler Dingo scout car 3D printed at 1/60 by the Tank Factory UK, who have been fantastic.
I have other WW2 projects in 1/56 and 1/48 , but I always wanted to have a go at Crossfire and liked the idea of doing it in this slightly smaller compact scale.
