A very difficult build...

A shame. A fairly obscure kit too as it will only be useful for early war.

Price wise it's also up against the Zvesda Panzer III G and the Panzer 38(t).

Yeah I am echoing your sentiments George. Interestingly the Zvesda one is £2.75, so 5 x £ 2.75 = £13.75...

Here is a picture with one at the bottom I did ages ago.



Personally for the ease of build and the fact that PSC come with fiddly tracks (unlike the PSC 251's) I will be buying my EW tanks from Zvezda

Yep, I'll concur. I've been building a Mittlere Pz Co. of mostly Zvezda stuff and, after simply snapping 5 Zvezdas together in 30 mins to 3 hours to build 5 PSC tanks, it's not really worth it. It's not a bad kit, just time-consuming.

BY the way, here's my Zvezda stuff:

Wow! Your Zvesda conversions are quite staggering.

Have you considered going into the after market resin parts business (like Chapterhouse but for 15mm WWII).

Thanks!

I have thought about it and may eventually pursue it, but I've been too busy lately with a new baby, commission work, and my own work to focus on it. What did you have in mind/what would you like to see produced?

That radio truck looks like a good start. I guess the problem would be making it cheaper or better than Battlefront do.

A Plastic Soldier/Zvesda T-34 to SU-? kit would be a good idea. The SU-85, SU-100 and SU-122 are almost identical and are pretty much a T34 with a cab added instead of a turret. I'd take five of them off you for the right price and I'm probably not alone.

Thinking ahead, Zvesda are doing an Sdkfz 222 this year. A command turret conversion kit and stowage pack would probably sell well.

Just to add my support to George's comments, I would buy resin casts of your vehicles. The mid-war monsters need some models!

Oh and I still haven't found a Railway gun yet!
