just wanted to do a quick reveiw on the plastic soldier companies German Panzer IV 1/72/20MM tank kit . very awesome kit comes with three tanks the company sells the same kit in 15mm scale . that comes with 5 tanks great for flames of war . its great that this company makes all there kits in three scales 15mm 20 mm and 28 mm . i personaly do all three scales because im a ww2 junky . well i bought the kit for $25.00 U.S. for my ever growing ww2 20mm collection . what a amazing kit . beautiful detail and tons of options to do all the panzer IV varients . side skirts no side skirts two diffent tank commanders , no tank commander some stowage short barrel . its awesome easy to put together and best of all ! easy to put together tracks . most 1/72 plastic kits have a ton of track part to glue together . this has a top and a bottom and then your done ! if your in to ww2 check out the plastic soldiers company line . especialy if your into flames of war . they do 15mm plastic infantry like 100 guys in a box for $ 25 bucks

They look great. I am about to branch off into 20mm WWII from 28 and 15 myself and was looking at these tanks and infantry. After seeing the prices I wish I had done this years ago.

That model looks brilliant! i don't enjoy putting together the FoW Panzer IVs (i'm doing an operation bagration force and i got two platoons of 4 panzers plus 2 commanders, and it's hell putting all those side skirts on) i'll have to look into these. thanks for the review!

What rules had you used Matt? I have played FOW and DH, which I like, but I am always looking for something else. I was thinking of getting the KGN rules as well, but $79.00 is super steep for me right now.

i use FOW for 15mm and DH for my 28 mm . i was useing world at war battlefeild evolution from mongoose publishing , which is the old starship trooper rules done for ww2 . there ok but i want a little more teeth . DH is great for a platoon and a vechicle or two . but i want to do a lot of vehicles . and DH is a little complex for a company of tanks . im still searching ...

You ever tried Command Decision? It seems like it'd be good for large numbers of tanks. I've never played it myself, but I'd like to give it a try at some point.
