T54's rolling into West Germany, circa 1985

Well for anyone who has been living under a rock, Battlefront has recently released one of the most iconic Soviet Cold War tank, the T-54 (aka North Vietnamese K-2) As a Canadian, I may not have as much interest in the Vietnam conflict, however this is a kit that can be used for a variety of eras, not just Vietnam. But lets look at the models themselves first shall we?

Product Review: Plastic Soldier Company Russian T70 Tank

2013-05-20T08:17:00.000-04:00

I was fortunate enough to be asked to review the Plastic Soldier Company's version of the T70. This is a 15mm plastic model that fits in nicely with Battlefront's Flames of War World War II historical miniatures game.

These are the first PSC models that I have fully assembled and painted and I was dying to know how they would fit in an army that had Battlefront models. So, as part of this review, I also purchased, built and painted a Battlefront T70 for comparison.

Review: Armament in Miniatures AC-47 Spooky

2013-05-16T08:00:00.000-04:00

Even though Battlefront left aircraft out of Tour of Duty, I couldn't keep my wallet closed when I found this AC-47 Spooky from Armament in Miniatures (AiM). I learned about AiM from Anatoli of Anatoli's Game Room. Anatoli found some great Polish aircraft for his September Campaign, an all this Polish Campaign for Early War Flames of War. In addition to learning about AiM from Anatoli, Mike over at Scary Biscuits scratch built a AC-47 several months ago. Mike is a much better modeler than me, but when I found the Spooky on the AiM website I placed the order.

PAVN Recoilless Guns

After playing a few games of 'Nam, it became clear that the PAVN need some heavy weaponry. Fortunately, combining pieces from the Battalion HQ box and Weapons box, you can make a full unit of Recoilless Guns 6 strong.
