GZG does not do 20mm so this should not be too much of a sin to post. If
nothing else they might be useful for conversions. Â Better said than I can
– and he managed to find something on the Peagasus website which I never
can. Â There is some overlap between the ranges, Hat have the broadest range
but alas not always the best looking one. The new M4s from Italeri are much
nicer than the Hat ones but Hat do more and I think different models of M4.
The Italeri stuff is generally very good except for the tracks on their
Russian AFVs which are not as good as the Pegasus ones. Pegasus use a really
ugly plastic but the kits are quite nice and have by far the best range of
Russian AFVs including armoured cars. Pegasus also do some Heer '46 vehicles,
paper panzers which should count as SF and might be particularly useful as
they are not as easily recognised as an M4 or Pz IV would be. Now I have the
image of one of the new 15mm plasma guns from GZG stuck on the top of one of
the Heer '46 tank destroyers stuck in my head, I am going to have to buy some
now. Â I always intended to steal the running gear from some of the kits and
use it for a small vehicle for 28mm scale but never got around to it. Â While
on the subject of Pegasus they do some plastic kits of SF subjects including
flying saucers. I was thinking of getting one for my Black Tree Daleks
(another indefinitely stalled project) but they might have other uses as well.
