Following hard on the heels of Friday’s new 15mm Fasolini figures<\/a>, we stay in the same scale but get a bit heavier in terms of hardware today.<\/p>\n

Most powerful of all is the Henschel Pz266 Eisenfaust<\/a> (Iron Fist) laser tank, a large blower tank equipped with a heavy turreted laser and a secondary autocannon in a ball mount on the glacis plate. It’s protected by a sandwich of sapphire and alloy armour, with an explosive close-in defence belt around the hull.<\/p>\n

\"HS15-311\"<\/p>\n

Much bigger and bulkier is the Sch\u00fctzenpanzer Pz441<\/a> platoon carrier, also manufactured by Henschel. Known as the Kastenwagen (Box Van) by the troops that use it, the Pz441 carries a full platoon of 24 infantry in its capacious rear compartment. Access is via two large side doors which drop down to form ramps and allow the infantry to disembark very rapidly (possibly because they would be sitting ducks if they remained in the now open troop compartment !). Armament consists of the same autocannon as the Eisenfaust, mounted on the roof of the driver’s cab.<\/p>\n

\"HS15-312\"<\/p>\n

Our final model for today is the Gamelin<\/a> wheeled tank used by EuroFed rapid reaction forces to provide armoured support to the lighter Catroux<\/a> AFVs. Armour is lighter than a conventional tank, but it still packs a hefty punch.<\/p>\n

\"SF15-407\"<\/p>\n
