Can anyone recommend a manufacturer of plastic armor kits (world war 2) that can be used for war gaming? I bought a couple Revell kits recently and they are not going to be suitable for gaming. Nice kits, but too fragile.

I know of Plastic Soldier Company and they are made for gaming, but their range is some what limited.

There is also Zveda?

Also, are there any good online sites that offer 1/72 kits?

Thanks!

You might try Armorfast (Hat). Detail is decent, and they're made for gaming. This is an example of their quality:

Zvezda is good but they are 1/100 scale, and the figure sets are 1/72.
