Italeri bring out another all new easy assembly kit in their 1/56 scale Warlord Games series: a StuG III that can alterntively be built into a Sturmhaubitze. There's also yet another boxing of an oldie Pz.Kpfw I.

Meh... have a look at Rubicon, Zvezda and Plastic Soldier Company if you want some really good plastics for the tabletop. And Infinity miniatures for excellent wargame painting.

Doesn't look too bad for a fast build, the solid wheels will show if the skirts are left off unfortunately.

Not really a fair comparison as Zvezda and PSC don't make 1/56th stuff. Rubicon is promising although they have a few design issues of their own . . .

Sure, but I was wondering if the etch and the l&l tracks had both appeared in the 2014(?)boxing, and if so, I couldn't make out what was new in this boxing... So maybe it is the etch that is new... Or decals... Or just the artwork...

Anyway...

...And Perry Miniatures (particularly Perry) . Oh, by the way, Infinity are about a 2 hour drive away from me - if you ever need anything let me know and I can hook you up with an excellent retailer (€Euro rather than Sterling prices!)
