How About That for Turnaround Time

AKA, "The Real Finishing Touch for KG Klink's Fall of France."

All,

The other day I posted I had finished up KG Klink for France, but then I ordered some more stuff, which I received this past Thursday, and I finished it up today.  So KG Klink and its opponents are now officially finished.

Once again, hats off to The Warstore.  They were super-helpful (in helping me figure out exactly what was available and getting a confusing order 100% correct) and super-speedy (ordered Tuesday, received Thursday).  Thanks a bunch!

Let's take a look.

This is everything I ordered.  Two Panzer Is, two Panzer IIs, six Panzer IIIs, three Panzer IVs, a Stug IIIC, a Sdkfz 221, a PzJgr I, and two French Char B1 bis.

On a side note, the Panzer IIIs are actually K and J models, which I modified to make F models (cut the gun off, filed down the mantle, re-attached the gun, then cut the gun down), and the Pz IVs are G models which I cut the barrels down on to make D models.  And I put a crewman figure on the 221 to cover up the open top so I can use it as a 222.

KG Klink's entire complement of vehicles (well, almost: not pictured are the two motorcycle platoons, because I only have one of them on motorcycles...): the Panzer Company is at bottom, with the armored reconnaissance platoon, the assault gun platoon, and the self-propelled anti-tank platoon at top (from left to right)

The Panzer Company, with the Company commander at far left (Pz IVD), then the four platoons in order:
1st Plt - 3 Pz IIs and 2 Pz Is
2nd Plt - 3 Pz IIIFs and 2 Pz IIIEs
3rd Plt - 3 Pz IIIFs and 2 Pz IIIEs
4th Plt - 3 Pz IVCs and 2 Pz IVDs

Another look a the Panzer Company.

Left to right:
The Armored Recon Plt - 1 Pz II, 1 Sdkfz 232, and 3 Sdkfz 222s
The Assault Gun Plt - 3 Stug IIICs
The Self-Propelled Anti-Tank Plt - 3 PzJgr Is

The French armored contingent, left to right: two Somua S-35s, three Char B1 bis (one Minifigs and two Pendraken, with the Pendraken vehicles being a bit larger than the Minifigs model.  And before you ask, I gave the three Char Bs different paint schemes because I wanted to!), and three H/R-35/39s (that is, they're whatever French light tank I need them to be).

And the British armored contingent: a Cruiser, two Matilda Is, a Matilda II, two Vickers MG tanks, and three armored cars.

The table is set, all is ready to see the end of the Sitzkrieg.

V/R,
Jack
