Interesting development.

Will you have examples at Salute?

Nice job.

The contrast between the original plastic and the new plastic is notable.

I look forward to seeing it painted.

And easy to find (I will be following the gravity well to TM02).

Useful to know, thanks.

Look forward to seeing them.

The Shermans are on my Salute shopping list.

I think I took that photograph and another one of the cans.

Though there is not a lot of big hardware there (not like Duxford or Bovington) there was a lot and I just did not photograph it (the IWM is where the three Jerry cans photograph came from).

At Bovington I did not photograph the KV-1...

It turns out I have only one photograph of the example at the IWM, and that is not particularly informative.


The bibliography in Osprey's Warrior 148: Long Range Desert Patrolman is also a good start.

Are you going to do British crew?

Not sure yet, what army unit will man the LVTs?

Probably 79th Armoured Division.

I wonder if they also want to get some out there before investing in plastic moulds.

White Dragon models https://whitedragonminiatures.co.uk and Anvil Industries https://anvilindustry.co.uk both do their figures in resin (and will be at Salute).

That’d be great!

Let us find them some references...

We are not going to release any vehicles this Q1/18, but focus solely on figures - pewter and plastic miniatures!

What's happened to the 222!? 

It looks like it is still in quality control http://forum.rubiconmodels.com/index.php?topic=211.0

The first quarter is always a bit of a nightmare with Chinese New Year looming large (it is very important and occupies quite a period of time - not just the day itself).

That will give me a chance to catch up on the previous releases...

An iconic vehicle for the LRDG, with various weapon loads.

Now I wonder if I have a photograph of the IWM example.

Inspired by Captain Blood's  CMP.

They are very nice.

I used Rubicon numbers on my Warlord resin and Zvezda Panzer 38 (t):

Both of the 38(t) based kits are full of character, moreso than the KV-1 and the IS-2.
