As you no doubt know by now, Battlefront's new starter set "Achtung!" dropped recently and includes fully plastic kits for 3 British Shermans and 2 German Stugs. Of course we're all excited about Battlefront's jump into plastics, so let's have a look!

Achtung!

Hmm - these plastic vehicles looked okay in the initial photos I saw, but they look far less impressive in these photos. PSC don't have much to fear yet.

Yeah, I rec'd both the Sherman and StuG free at Adepticon and wasn't terribly impressed. Both models are very "chunky". The one big advantage they have over PSC is that the tracks are all one piece.

i have a new Stug and seriously, it just looks bit tacky and feels "cheap". And a lot of mold lines to clear on mine.
