They are not as bulky as the average 28 mm, but how do they paint up? Any experience and/or pics would be welcome.
Cheers,
Tom

avoid.
height varies between 28mm-39mm, detail is not crisp, a lot of effort fror not much return, if you want 1/48 figs
These are really good Northstar
They're are a plethora of 1/48 figs, unfortunately they majority are German Tankers.
They're is also a vast variation between companies even though 1/48 is a scale and not a size.
The Northstar figs are really good, much better than the photo's show, and they're £1-50p each!!!!!

I'm doing some Tamiya figures, and there not good, too thin, just dont look right.
If you want accurate figures for tanks these are worth a try

He has others in the range too.

I think I will end up with Artizan or BAM 28mm as they look good with the tanks

Thanks, guys for the links. Since I am looking for Russians, I will give Northstar a try.
