Thanks for the tip about OTP Carlos - not a maker I was aware of, so one of the bonuses of starting this thread
If I can find a UK distributor I will be after an early StuG for eastern front use ...
TBH I am not one of those who thinks 1/48 tanks look better with 28mm minis - not the Perry sized 28mm minis I use anyway. I can see that might be a different story with the 'heroic' scale ranges.
To me 1/48 vehicles are the natural way to go if you're interested in tapping the military modelling and diorama market. You can charge quite a bit more in that market too ... I can see that they're also the way to go for wargaming Arab-Israeli and Vietnam stuff because of the very large ranges available.
enjoy your erudite postings on these boards BTW Carlos,
