Re: Will there be a celecbration?

The listing doesnt include the Type1 HO/OO Airfix sets (2) either though it does include other nominally HO/OO sets such as Atlantic, if other sets were also included.... Preiser 1/72 has already been mentioned with 14-15? Infantry sets, and of course currently not counted but still "Plastic" the special painted sets from Kaiser err... Caesar....I'm sure there are plenty of others probarbly long forgotten....

The truth is the total is way greater then the WW2 listing of PSR allows for or shows as far as nominally 1/72 Plastic figures go.... did Baravelli produce any German Soldiers does anyone know? and what about Japanese Manufacturers or Resin(Plastic, according to PSR and indeed it is) firms such as Milicast etc?

Anyhow if you just want to include only 1/72 soft plastic(PP PE etc) sets as designed then only sets produced from the period of the original Esci production would actually count, as Atlantic and Airfix were not originally marketed for 1/72 specifically but 1/87-1/76(HO/OO) this equally applies to the other ranges Napoleonic French and Romans etc, but probably the balance wouldn't change much overall

...GERMANS (94)...


I think you have missed out the Zvezda and Prieser sets, which would take the number over 100, and there's another one on PSR today to also add in.

I think the duplicated sets should count because how many times have the millions of non-painters told us they want a set in a variety of colours and always buy every release if it's in a different colour.

As I said, way over 100 a long time ago.


dear pda,
preiser actually missed, but not zvezda ones and not even the last caesar stalingrad set. did not count lw/evolution/odemars nor valiant. did not count duplicated sets as airfix/heller/hat or esci/italeri or matchbox/revell.
actually there are many german sets... are they enough?

No. Actually there are too many WW2 "German" sets!

I doubt there will ever be enough for fans of The Mighty 1000-Year Reich.

Re: Will there be a celecbration?

46 sets that can come in light blue,medium blue,dark blue,tan,grey, and silver.en viola,the permutations boggle the mind.
vive la emperour!

Re: Will there be a celecbration?

The Mighty 1000-Year Reich (12 years and 3 months) sets also come in different colours. 123 multiplied by "light blue,medium blue,dark blue,tan,grey, and silver" is larger than 46 multiplied by "light blue,medium blue,dark blue,tan,grey, and silver".

Even if the WW2 "Germans" only came in 3 different colours, a whole half of what you claim for your nappies, they would still outnumber the Nappie French (or "french" as you call them), 369 versus your 276.

C'est la vie

Re: Will there be a celecbration?

as much as id like to have germans in more than 1 color,im afraid there isnt many sets that come in 2 different colors.the reprints from esci to italeri come to mind with 2,but thats about it.it wasnt known as a colorful uniform period i guess.
so vive la france!
