www.squadron.com in the maquette section you will see the pzbfwg 38 (t) and under you will see pzkpfw 38 (t) A-D be good bout ur opinions they cost the same.

I think dragon might make the pzbfwg 38 (t). If its a good kit you might save some bucks.

You should also concider the italeri Pzkfw 38(t).....a very nice kit that doesn't cost too much either!

Accuracy wise, the Maquette is a superior kit than the old Italeri kit. Italeri was made without a driver's hatch, but builds nicely. Maquette's kit is a typical eastern European model. Not as crisp or as easy to build as western kits.

Out of the two you list, I'd pick the PzBfwg since the two kits will be the same inside but the PzBfwg will contain an extra sprue of the parts that make it a radio/command tank. The description even states, "Includes one new frame."

Ive seen the first of the two and compared to the CMK kit it looses ground. The chechs have done it better to my opinion. Plus they sell great add-ons for their kit, interior, engine, the works.

Sorry, made a mistake.
Didn't read your posting carefully enough and started writing about the 35 (t). It was only after I posted that I saw how stupid I was.
So dumb of me!
Choose the command one it has more details.

I shal spread ashes over my head and go into mourning.

Hello Nervreck!

I would suggest you get PzKpfv 38(t), very nice kit, i did one and except geting boored while claning the track links (which is something you will have to do on any maquette kit) i had much fun + the kit has full interior!

I own these kits, and they look to be quite nice (haven't built either one). Some negative comments about the kits would be:
* Alot of flash (but hey, we all own sharp knives, right?)
* Heavy sink marks, especially on the outside where the inside has molded detail

Still, these kits are not wastes by any stretch of the imagination. Both of the kits build off of common sprues, so you can't really go wrong with which ever one you pick.
