Huh, nice! The 4-piece tracks are an interesting departure from form for you guys, and I'll be curious to see how they come out – certainly the previews look excellent.

many Item Codes had updated parts (revised moulds) and some with EXTRA new sprues too!

Ooh, that's interesting to hear! Will you be announcing which sets are receiving updates?

Yeah, with how common a ZiS-3 is in Soviet Bolt Action armies, a plastic version in 28mm would seem to be a pretty reliable seller. I've liked the PSC AT guns too – they're a little low on detail in some parts, but honestly no worse than I'd expect the Warlord metal kit is, and likely much easier to assemble.

Very much agreed with The_Big_Red_Bear's thoughts above. Plastic artillery in particular is a niche crying out to be filled, and I've been very happy with the Pak 40 from Rubicon. Hopefully the planned Allied AT guns and 25-pounder are evidence of an expansion in this field. I'd especially like to see the Soviet guns suggested, since many of them are impossible to find in any material at this scale.

Wow, that was quick! Looks great too... I wonder if there was some work already being done that was used for this?

Of course there is already the US equivalent of the two pounder in the WIP queue.

I'm hoping the 37 mm M3 will be followed up by a 57 mm M1 / 6-pounder kit, which would be an excellent excuse to do a 2-pounder as well...

Very nice! I sense an M16 MGMC conversion in the future...

I'd also like to see some Soviet artillery in the future. In addition to the guns already mentioned, a 122 mm howitzer M1938 would be a great addition since those seem to be impossible to find – the only one I can see is Trenchworx, and theirs is marked "out of stock" despite being a made-to-order 3D print.

I'd also like to see an IS-2 kit, if only for the possibility of getting an ISU-152 in plastic at some point. We got the SU-85/SU-122 box, so I can dream!

Hi everyone! I started getting into Bolt Action about a year ago, and I've become a big fan of Rubicon's offerings – my Soviets have a Studebaker and a lend-lease M4A2 that have been doing very nicely, and I'm working on a pair of T-34s as well. I've been checking the forum for a while to look at upcoming releases and so on, so I thought I'd join and say hi.
