I’m making an Afrika Korps Panzer 1, and I want both a new commander and some infantry for my Tamiya Panzer 1 Ausf. B. Should I buy PanzerArt or MiniArt figures?

Panzer Art are cast resin. Miniart are molded styrene. The price and detail difference are vast. You have to decide which you want.

I think I may have conflated these two kits in my mind

Those were both ex-Tri Star kits. They’re not bad!

I can usually buy the Hobbyboss figure sets in the UK for about £10, which I think is great value for how good the figures are for styrene of their age.

By quality, PanzerArt is top tier. Miniart’s figures would require a lot of work to make them presentable.
