Well, the Bradley (L x W x H 6,55 m x 3,28 m x 3,38) is bigger than the 251 (5,8 m x 2,1 m x 1,75 m).
Is the size ratio between the two models realistic? I don't know.

To be sure, take a sliding gauge, measure the models, multiply the measured values by 144 and compare the results with the original ...

In side by side comparison, the more detailed print of the AGSDGAWD model is noticeable.
Actually, the Bradley is wider and taller (and heavier) than the Panzer IV.

I'm wearing my reading glasses and work with a magnification lamp.
Otherwise I would hardly see if I'm painting a triplane or a tank.

I use superglue/Cyanoacrylate to fix the small parts to the models, usually after cleaning, before priming.

I'm using a light grey primer, but in the end it's a matter of personal preference.
If you're only going to paint (mostly) green military models, a green primer is a good choice.

- primer -> spray can
- the paint job -> regular brushes
- I would use the airbrush for applying the clear varnish

You should try washing and drybrushing techniques to add depth and highlights to the models.

First I clean them with warm water and a dishwashing detergent, after that they are primed (Vallejo spray can) and
painted with acrylics and regular brushes. A final coat of clear varnish won't hurt either.

Okay, back to the initial topic:

Wow! Where was all this stuff when I was a kid? I mostly remember 1:48, 1:35, 1:76, 1:72, and 1:285. This is like a World War II buff's dream! Especially liked the Operation Varsity photos. :D


I guess as a kid you would ...

It's 1/6 scale ("action figures")....requires a lot of space...great for outdoor dioramas though

Good plan, but be warned - collecting becomes addictive real quick.

Their PLA models are good, the resin models are true gems (your Bradleys from Amazon look excellent as well).
I expect my recent order from BPM to be delivered next week, and I'll post some pics of the unpainted resin models.

Yeah, 1/144 is a really nice scale for painting, collecting and gaming.

Ah, found them, thank you.

Hi all,

so far, I've only had time for a few quick tests.

- WF: Scen "TT_Britain v Germany_coastal_Med_01" doesn't start -> "Map not found"
- WF: Greek M97 75mm Field Guns (P15107) are not capable of firing (same in 2.03, perhaps always)

- I'm not sure if all new graphics made it to the update ...

Hi all,

launching the new Crete scenario causes the game to CTD.
Missing unit(s)??

Gerne geschehen

You can copy and paste the content to Deepl, for example. Those online translators tend to struggle with military jargon,
but the Deepl translation was good and reasonable (at least the text section I've tested).

Hi Berghof,

Hmm....I thought the game would automatically switch to encrypted mode when you start a PBEM (or other H2H) game.
