28mm Polish Army


Just waiting on three more packs of Infantry from Blacktree Design and the first phase my Polish Army will be complete. 
 
 
 
The Blacktree Design Polish figures are very nice.  Crisp details and match well, both heft and height, to the figures produced by Bolt Action Warlord games.  There is a handy painting guide painting guide on the warlord site that I will be using for these.  The figure on the left is a Bolt Action 28mm Polish Anti-Tank Rifle gunner and the one on the right is a Blacktree Design 28mm Polish NCO/Officer from their command pack. 
 
 
 
Thought I would include a couple pictures of the ever popular 1/48th scale diecast Panzer 38(T), by a variety of makers over the years.  This one is the New Millennium Toys copyright 2008 version.  I have seen these for years, on the internet and a few at walmart, but never a comparison to other 28mm scale tanks being produced today.  The tank on the left is the 28mm scale Bolt Action Polish 7TP Light Tank.  As you can see the model compares very nicely, and in my humble opinon, one can hardly notice that one tank is a 28mm or 1/56th scale and the other a 1/48th scale model. 
 
 

 
 
Figure wise, the total force consists of a Platoon Headquarters, 3 squads of Infantry, a Heavy Machine Gun Team, Anti-Tank Rifle Team, a sniper and a 37mm Anti-Tank Gun.  For the vehicles I have 3 of the TKS Machinegun armed tankettes from Blacktree Design, a Warlord games 7TP Light Tank and a truck to tow the ATG from Force of Arms.  I will start getting this force ready for the table in the next week or two and provide detailed reviews of each model.
