Any one ever buy S-Model 1/72 armor kits? I've bought their 1/700 ship models and they are fantastic - PE and turned brass. Or is their armor simplified for wargaming?

Leo,

Check out for yourself at the Henk of Holland Site. They are generally fast build but more detailed than First to Fight and many come with a metal barrel and PE.

Cheers,
Jan

The one-piece tracks and running gear are molded acceptably, but not too crazy about the solid guide teeth on the tracks. Otherwise they look to be well detailed, and modestly priced.

I am building the Renault UE. It's a very nice little kit - well molded and accurate. It's impressive for a quick build. Have a look at the 'On the way' which has plenty of reviews of their range.

Like any other kit, you can build them "as-is" or detail to your hearts content. I have the ZTZ-99A as well as their BMP-1 and Wiesel. They're good kits built from the box but they can be detailed 'out-the-wazoo'...

They're super little kits. I'm kit bashing their M113 with Trumpeters ACAV kit. I have 9 of their kits.
