Anyone tried Tamiya's 1/48 figures yet?
Posted by jvkx on Friday, January 11, 2008 7:34 PM
Got their 1/48 WW II German Panzergrenadier set last night.  I am disappointed that it looks like scaled down version of their older 1/35 figure set, with heavy mold seams all around, made worse because of the smaller scale.  The real trick, though, would be painting the late war SS camo
 pattern.  Has anyone taken a crack at it yet?

Hi,

 Haven't gotten the german sets but do have the russian set for my Hobby Boss T-34/85 and they are scaled down versions fo their 13 figure russian assault troop set but the detail is great! and love the fact their multipose like their 1/35 counterparts and so far the figures are going together very well. Hauler puts out pe sets for the various weapons sets so you can detail the weapons without going nuts trying to cut rifle slings in that scale. Big Smile [:D]

I painted my US at rest, not to the level of this group, but I did paint them. I also have 2 Africa Corp that came with the Klubwagen another thread said they are too small and not to scale {at 1/50} I could not tell one way or another and since they are pretty much the only game in town.... I have not painted the Germans out for a walk yet overall I like them but I am easy
