Useful for Battlegroup and Flames of War 15mm gamers!

Hopefully 20mm next month...

I think I will be picking up a box of these!

Pumas please.

Well actually Universal Carriers, then Pumas.

Definitely snagging one box for DAK, because addiction.

I've already got a couple boxes of the FOW Pumas so I'm good. Has PSC ever released a plastic kit after Battlefront did one in plastic?

Noticed the Battlefront Pumas and happier now. Are they good sculpts? Also a box of six is more useful than a box of five.

I haven't put any together yet, but looking over the sprues they look very nice.

Universal Carriers are in the pipeline for both companies. It'll be interesting to see them head to head.

I think Valentines may be next on the PSC list. I am very much looking forward to them.

Agreed interesting as a head to head on the UC, expect the PSC model to be a bit more delicate and look nicer, the BF one more robust as a gaming model.

Then the PSC ones to be a fair bit cheaper, no contest really.

Not to mention PSC typically carries many more variations on a sprue...

I'm still surprised BF prices their plastics at $40 per 5 tanks (store retail price), when PSC is almost half that...

That surprised me about the recently announced plastic universal carrier miniatures from BF. The PSC ones can make multiple variants (including Wasp flame throwers) from their kit but there is no indication the new BF kit can make anything except the basic carrier.

I'm guessing PSC is not as widely available and BF don't want people wondering why the prices are halved in some regions and going looking.

Also somewhat surprised they are not better at either getting more variants on the frames or being cunning and say putting an infantry flame thrower figure, a pioneer guy etc on odd frames so you get them in plastic only by buying the full range.


I'm wondering on a T-55 list for TY, but the BF models won't even get a look in.

This is also no doubt why the new cards are in the box only, can do a very nice Mid War panzer force with pretty much all PSC and Zvezda...
