Four new SCW trucks include two armored trucks, one with a MG turret, the other with a cannon turret, and two transports - one carries a full load of troops and tows a trailer; the other carries troops and a standard. They are about the right size and are full of character, but casting problems detracted quite a bit from the overall effect. All had alignment problems - one side of the vehicle cast out of alignment with the other - and the transports were somewhat two dimensional, giving the impression of tall, long trucks about to fall over on their sides! The Panzer I was somewhat chunky and blunt. These models are interesting more in choice of subject than in execution, though they do paint up acceptably. These, and numerous other SCW troops and cavalry, are available from Irregular Miniatures, 69a Acomb Road, Holgate, York, England Y02 4EP.or PO Box 1705, Warren, MI 48090 More Reviews
