Looks promising, I put a load of the PSC Soviets together for someone last year, which were very nice once painted, but looked "odd" with BF metals as support units, same reason my German PSC infantry has "cascaded" to someone else. (nothing wrong with the models, beautiful, just different from BF)

this is icing on the cake though, as this is now what? most of the infantry/gun crews you are going to need able to source from PSC? even if you still have metal guns as long as the crews are PSC it sould all "look" right.

Thanks for the review.

As for the ATRs I would put two prone on one base and two standing on another.

The German Heavy weapons should be out this week or next :)

The thing with the PSC infantry, as far as I can tell, is that they're the same designs as their 28mm infantry, just scaled down.

So they're probably quite accurate for scale purposes, where as say BF or FiB miniatures are sculpted at 15m scale, so they have out-of-proportion heads/bodies etc, if you scaled up a BF figure to 28mm or even 1.1 it would have a MASSIVE head.

I like the PSC tanks but I think i'll be avoiding the infantry.

that was basically the problem, 15mm Accurate (PSC) v 15mm Heroic (BF) both look fine, just not stood in the same army.

Oddly the PSC tank crews look fine in a BF army, probably because the tanks and crew scale nicely.

will look at the german weapons crews but currently have more or less all the late war germans I'm going to need...

now if PSC released DAK I'd be all over them
