Subject: [GZG] [OT] Re: 20mm 'Quick' kits
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 â 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. Â
