Did a repaint of some very cheap Marder Ms for Flames of War. I think they came out rather well (the odd greyish-white spots are a trick of the light).

how do axis&allies compare to Battlefront sizewise?

As always, they look great. Love your panthers in your other post.

Quite better than my repaints actually . I have two questions:
1. how did you deal with those inherently bent barrels - I believe that this is a common issue, since all my 5 A&A Marders have this issue. I was thinking about covering them with camo-net and looks like You went the same road.
2. Those crewmen - some of them are from 251/1 command sprue, but I cannot recognise the others.

Wardancer - those Marders are indeed the cheapest available option and they scale with BF very well. However, I've read that Marders are the only A&A model which scales well with BF.

Any of the version 2 (any set with the years in the title) vehicles and infantry are 15mm. Version 1 is all over the place.

I didn't (which is why two of them are covered in netting). I figure for an entire platoon under $10, I'm okay bending them back every so often. The crew are 251 commander and artillery loaders with the base cut off.
