    Default 1/144 WWI Tanks

    I just recently found this range while browsing
    http://www.wargames-south.com/acatal...ish_Tanks.html
    Some very useful models for possible ground-attack or close-support scenarios here!

    Sweet Tanks! They could add candy to the game board. Now if only I can invent a "anti Gravity" base for my Aircraft.

    For 1/144 scale they are superbly detailed (reaches for wallet and has a quick count).
    Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!

    The Time of Aces tourney held in Cardiff back in Jan had a mission which included both British & German tanks. Drop Khargor a PM and hell be able to tell you what make they were.
    They really made the mission look good. Have a look at the thread below last 2 pages have pics you may be able to make out the tanks
    Anyone fancy a 1x day WoW tournament in Cardiff?.

    Hi Robert,
    Where does it show what scale the tanks are?

    Try Pendraken miniatures the make 10mm 1/150 (approx) WWI vehicles for the major powers. They do trucks/ lorries with AA guns. I have ordered some and am slowly painting them.http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/att...1&d=1303090882

    They look real smart Tony. I was after something like that myself in a smaller scale than the planes so that they did not look out of scale too much from a low flying height.

    If you go to their home page that`s where you`ll find the info on scale.
    Just about eveything they do is 1/144.

    This 1/300 range might be useful as well if you want a more `higher altitude` look.

    They also have the advantage of not costing a lot!

    There was a post some time back with some of these painted up. They looked real good. For me I can barely see 10mm let alone something half that size. Besides I already have an investment in time and money in the larger stuff.

    Those are perfect Rabbit! Im' going to order some today!

    Hey Rabbit, I use to do some online WWII flight simming with Irish and load of other guys from both sides of the pond in the 46th DRB squadron a few years back. We had a member named Rabbit. Would that be you?

    That is another useful asset you have brought to our attention there Robert. Thanks for the heads up.
