So my local store got some of the zvezda art of tactics kits in. Not overly interested in their game, but the models seem nice. How far our of scale are the vehicles with the the infantry though? Was thinking of picking a few up to have on hand, tank or two and some of the infantry. Grabbed two tanks yesterday in 1/100, but is it worth bothering with their 1/72 infantry or should I just go look at the plastic soldier company 1/100?

Id go with plastic soldier co infantry as 20mm infantry next to a 15mm tank is a bit out of scale.

Did think so, shall have a hunt for the plastic soldier stuff. On the bright side those these tank kits go together like a dream.

Or buy PSC 20mm tanks to go with the Zvezda infantry...

Zvezda went with a board game approach, so they don't care that they're being inconsistent with scale. The best thing to do is pick either 1/72 or 15mm and go with it. I ended up going with 15mm, but I used to do 1/72 and think I might have been better off sticking with it.

There are plenty of 1/72 and 15mm kits out there, PSC, airfix, revell etc, so you should be able to find enough models for the scale that you prefer.
