Hi guys, some mates and myself have decided to start a 1/72 WWII war gaming club, we will be using platoon-company size forces for skirmish style battles, (not sure of the rules yet) so I am starting a project to make a flexible infantry company plus assets and armour of each major country, so here is the first unit, 3 stug III Gs, 2 from Italeri and one from Trumpeter, I'll be giving the models a little bit of detail without going over the top.
Th Italeri kits hold up well with age, they have link and length tracks, but these are very average in detail, LnL tracks are good for static display models but not so good for war gaming kits, detail is a bit chunky but this will lend itself well to painting, overall they look right 6.5/10, the Trumpeter kit is a little more delicate, an looks more accurate, it has rubber tracks, these glued easily to the wheels, 7.5/10, the gunners hatch is closed on both kits.
