Showcase & Gallery / South African M10 Achilles
« on: January 16, 2017, 06:59:39 pm »




Here is my effort at depicting a vehicle of the 1/11 AT Regiment of the SA 6th Armoured Division in Italy, 1945. There is no record of these seeing combat (they were only converted from 3-inch-equipped vehicles in April 1945). So I kept the weathering to a minimum. Crew from Warlord, decals from a range of sources...

Showcase & Gallery / South African M4A3 105

Here is my interpretation of the Rubicon Sherman - modeled to depict a 105 in the HQ squadron of the Pretoria Regiment, South African 6th Armoured Division, Italy 1944-45. It was the only version of the M4A3 hull that was used but the South Africans - the bulk of their force was Sherman V and cast hull M4A1 76mm Shermans. And yes, my rivet-counting friends :D , the commanders hatch is correct - pix show the Pretoria Regiment's 105s equipped with the "vision cupola".





And together with another Pretoria Regiment vehicle - a Sherman VC (using the old Warlord resin kit).



More pix and build details on my blog

Wish Lists / White Scout Car

I would love to see this as a plastic kit. Used by US, Commonwealth and RKKA forces, and in large numbers. And a useful bit of kit on the wargames table...

General Discussions / M4 tracks
« on: August 03, 2016, 04:43:48 am »
Hiya

Struggling to figure out which tracks are represented in the Rubicon M4 Sherman kit (and the M10 kit)? Rubber or steel? They seem to have a "solid" chevron tread, for which I can't find any reference pix? The tread chevron shape looks summink like the steel T54 but with the "negative" space of the chevron filled in?

Any ideas?

TIA

Showcase & Gallery / Crusader A15

Rubicon Crusader with crew from Die Waffenkamer (Mk III) and Perry Miniatures (Mk II). Loved building the Crusader kit - goes together very well. Haven't built many others from the Rubicon range (M10, M4) but it was even better than the others, both in design and detail, I found.
