Been making some 28mm Kits

For my Chain of Command 28mm British Infantry the welcome sight of a Sherman Mk I (see below, the ubiquitous Western Front armour support): 


She came up nicely, less parts in 28mm than most 20mm kits (see below, looking ship shape and ready for battle): 


Keeping with the 1944 theme, my Crusader originally bought as a Western Desert AFV had a course change and became a AA D-Day+ addition to the British Armour inventory (see below, the Crusader had an extended career with the various specialist functions it found itself in): 


The Western Desert armour support was provided by the Valentine Mk II/III variant (another nice Rubicon kit). I did briefly toy with the idea of a Soviet version but decided that could wait for a 6pdr later variant (see below, 2pdr and 3 inch turret options shown):  


Assembly of 28mm kits is faster than 20mm! Painting might take longer though!

  1. Nice additions, which Armoured unit have you chosen?

  2. We all like sticking model tanks together. Painting them can take a bit longer!

  3. I seem to be in one or two modes Martin, making them or painting them, seldom both at the same time! Wargaming butterfly syndrome!

  4. No designated units yet, as CoC supports technically they could be anything. Decal selection comes once they get painted!
