Looks pretty good, but I already have enough of these from PSC

Might have to pick up a box of these. Can never have too many mk4s. I'm waiting on the panther box (plastic jagdpanthers, yes please) and the m10/m36 box for some mid-war/D-Day m10s

not that interested to be honest. They are still significantly more expensive than PSC, the Schurzen still looks flimsy and they appear to be of the same quality.

I will get them, I'm happy to pay a little more that psc for models that are a little chunkier and not as likely to break when you cut the bits off the sprue.

Also I was really impressed with the other kits I have bought, the t-34 and su kits are really good, I would say up there with the best psc kit.

BF m113's were very good. However I bought PSC stuff over the last few years and I won't be replacing any of them because the PSC stuff is very good and if it ain't broke don't fix it.

BF will have to move a very long way, in a very short time to be in position to overtake PSC.

I picked up my first box of battlefront plastic SU-100s for twenty quid and likewise picked up the second box for the same from ebay with free postage so not much in the price if you shop around.

However all my T-34s are PSC and i cannot see me changing to battlefield models now, and if i expand numbers will stick with PSC. Same to be said about the Panzer IV as well.

It would also seem that the PSC kit is superior here as you have the options to build F1, F2/G variants as well as the H, while battlefront just provides the H.

So looking forward to the plastic Jagdpanthers at the moment, would be nice to see battlefront fill gaps that PSC currently don't do. Like the SU's which are very nice models, pretty much comparable to PSC in my opinion.

Depends how much of a rivet counter you are, I'm a big PSC fan but their Panzer IV only has the pre-H split-hatch for the cupola which although a minor detail its location means its kind of in your face when looming godlike over your models..

I like the inclusion of the schurzen rail too, I was a bit disappointed at PSC lacking that (it can be scratch built but I'm lazy)

Speaking of 'counting rivets'

Oh dear...

That is pretty amateur, they need to sort their QA out. Mistakes happen but this makes BF look like a gaggle of "Bell-ends", 40 people? In my gaming group we have at least 5 people who would be all over that from a historical perspective.

I bet this is an issue with the wrong Prototype going into production, I had a similiar issue when in-house developed Software went into production for live and we almost launched the Wrong Version. Luckily the QA testers spotted it and we checked back and realised we had used the v0.91 instead of the v0.912.

Oh well, at least they confronted the issue and are trying to rectify it. They could have put their fingers in their ears, then started screaming and pointing at everyone, followed by closing down their forums.

Pretty poor QA, but I'm glad they're already onto it and doing what they can to make it right.
