"The Panzer I's performance... was limited by its thin armour and light armament of two machine guns," |
Originally, I did consider just adding it to my previously painted Panzer I contingent. However, having recently started a 10mm non-Winter WW2 project using various British armoured vehicles like the Matilda II and Crusader II tanks, I eventually decided on simply adding it to the German forces I plan to field as opposition. The move also meant I wouldn't need to drop my brush into my sole surviving pot of "Citadel" Adeptus Battlegrey - which I have been saving simply to pigment all my German cold weather forces in order for them to 'precisely' match the forces I finished over a decade ago.
"The legendary Tiger had a reputation way above its real statistics." |
Sticking with 10mm German armoured vehicles produced by "Pendraken Miniatures", I have also completed a second of Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H models for my Battle of the Bulge campaign. This was one of two models bought together as a pair within a single clamshell from the Middlesbrough-based manufacturer's stall at Salute 50, and was simply labelled as a Tiger I.
"Pendraken Miniatures" WIPs - These three Panzerjagers are at different stages of completion. |
Finally, with the arrival of my latest 'reinforcements' from "Pendraken Miniatures" I have been able to add some crew members to a trio of old Panzerjagers I discovered alongside my Panzer Ib. In the past, for my Battle Of Moscow project, I've just based these self-propelled anti-tank artillery pieces unattended, despite never really liking the empty hull. This time round though, I thought I'd plonk a crewman into each vehicle, to at least give the impression that the gun is actually manned...
