I bought this set two months ago and can personally attest that it is awesome. I painted it a little differently, and used red stars instead of white stars, but definitely some of my favorite minis in my collection.

I need SU-85s, SU-85Ms, and SU-100s. I built them as all as SU-100s. 😀 When I need SU-100s for a game, I naturally use them. When I need the other smaller-gun versions, I use these again and just say the guns are “Heroically Proportioned!”

The accessory sprue is also great. Like I said, I built my SU-100s two months ago and have built/painted 30+ tanks since then, and I’ve been steadily using little bits off these sprues … and I’ve still got tons of extra parts left! 😀

I’ve uploaded some photos of what our group has done with the figures from this boxed set.
Hope you like!

Oh … hell yeah. Donald Sutherland in Kelly’s Heroes! Why can’t I put more than one karma point for that comment!??

LOUD. It kind of . . . calms us down.” Special rules for paint shells? “When we fire it it makes . . . pretty pictures. Scares… Read more »

In answer to the “Did they use the SU 100 in Vietnam” the following evidence would suggest that they did:

Also worth noting are the North Vietnamese driving captured ACAV’s and the PT-76’s with tank riders!

I am really happy with the new plastic kits from Battlefront.My teen age sons love them!
(Much easier to work on IMO.)
Excellent product.

Here are the rules for Kelly’s Heroes from Wargames Illustrated, just for fun!

These rules are epic! Damn, they almost got everything from the movie. To quote Carroll O’Connor: “Have you ever seen enthusiasm like that in all your lives, they even got the damned GRAVEDIGGERS in there!” We’ve actually tried reenacting certain scenes in Kelly’s Heroes in a few systems, A&A Minis, Panzer Leader, and most recent Valor and Victory. The breakthrough village scene works well, the train tunnel overrun scene works well, and even the bridge crossing scene works well . . . but sooner or later you have to put one Sherman up against three Waffen SS Tigers . .… Read more »
