General Discussions / WOW! Amazing job Rubicon, just wow…!

« on: June 10, 2021, 11:10:54 am »

I bought the M32b1 recovery vehicle kit and I am completely blown away by the attention to detail, the quality of the mouldings, etc…  I know, I know, it doesn’t fit into the gaming situation and it’s almost the price of two regular kits but OMG what a beautiful little kit!!!

I very highly recommend this, I normally don’t like resin but when it’s already trimmed and ready to build like this, what’s not to like? 

Rubicon, PLLEASE PLEASE, consider doing this with the  Israeli M50 and M51  super shermans.  You already have the hull for the M50 and M51, just need the turrets, guns, special equipment.  The M51 can also use the tracks from the easy 8, I Know because I’ve already built an Israeli M1 sherman using the large hatch M4A1 kit and your HVSS tracks.




the M50 would require a special long HVSS tracks though.  I would purchase 5 of each of these tanks to start, just to use in middle east war dioramas along with your centurions and T-55 tanks.

Wish Lists / More resin options for the Sherman fleet...

A proper set to convert the M4A3 to an M4A3E4 Oddball specification, the elongated mud guards, the long 76mm with the light postwar thread guard, the speaker, the unit specific items, the decals, and the unique crew figures.





A resin high detail set, brush guards, lift eyes, 50cal, pioneer tools, etc

High detail track sets, T49, T54E1, and T48

And we need the sharp nose FDA in resin to use on the M4 and M4 hybrid kit that are missing the sharp nose FDA

My wife got me several Rubicon kits for Christmas!!!

I’m hoping we get more resin detail sets for The Sherman tank line.  Here are a few suggestions

We need the sharp nose FDA cover for the M4 and M4 hybrid and I’m happy to buy them in bulk so maybe two in a box?

Would also love some high detail track sets for the Shermans.

For those of us that have a modeling back ground, a high detail tool, lift ring, and brush guard set would be awesome!

And lastly this might also be good for the gamers, I’d love some resin or plastic bases designed for the Sherman tanks, early war desert, mid war, and late war.  Tons of possibilities, partial building ruins etc, Shermans saw action in the eastern front, the pacific, africa, burma, china, italy, sicily, and europe.
