second that for the m48, m60s m109, t62 bmps
Second for your list with additions:

  • M48A5 and really interested in M48A2GA2 and M48A5MOLF. The latter adds a German laser rangefinder and is used by the Greek Army, the former is the German equivalent to the American A5. It features a new cast gun mantlet and MG3 machine gun ring mounted on new circular cast commander's cupola. Additionally, a passive IR sight, the PZB200, and German smoke dischargers were installed.
  • M60A1 RISE Passive and M60A3 TTS are something I'd really like to see with BLAZER armor as an optional add-on sold separately.
  • T-62, especially with an option to build the T-62M version from 1983.
  • Leopard 1, with options Leopard 1A5, Leopard 1A1A4, Leopard 1A3 and Leopard 1A4 in that order being most interesting.
  • a Marder 1A3 model would catapult us into the 1990s era, interesting for Yugoslavia and later conflicts.
  • M47, the NATO standard tank of the 1950s and also used by Yugoslavia in no small numbers; optional parts to build the Spanish variants - M47E2 most notably - would be highly welcome!
  • M2 and M3 Bradley in their A0 original production version.
  • MT-LB, the Soviet counterpart to the ubiquitous M113.

Shaun, would that be your "Centurion 105mm conversion kit" I'd need to order for a Rubicon Centurion kit?

Had the same problem. We're planning to do a 28 mm post-WW3 wargaming project running parallel to the T2K campaign I referee now. The plan is to mix equipment from the late 1940s to the 1990s. Personally, I'm doing forces that fit Eastern European militaries, paramilitaries or civilians from the era. The 'Nam range is super interesting for me, but so would a HMMWV, M48A5, M60s and BTR-152 as well as later-model T-54/55s.

Is there an ETA already?

I'd fancy a Cold War era Soviet 100 mm anti-tank gun T-12 with options to build the later variants T-12A and MT-12 "Rapira".

While I am at it, now that the M48 is in process, is there any possibility of an M48A5 being included when the M48A3 comes on the market? The 48A5 was not produced in time for the Vietnam War, but it is still the best and most capable of the M48 series. In fact the tankers I knew who crewed the A5 said it was a better tank that the M60A3 that it was meant to supplement. Except for the main gun and cupola the outside appearance of the A5 is nearly identical to the A3.
I can only second interest in the M48A5. It's hard to come by in 28 mm with decent details and true scale.

Hello,

long-time wargamer and roleplayer here. I always enjoyed combining both, though rarely get to do it. But 28 mm is probably my favourite scale, because it enables me to do exactly that. Past projects usually were Word War 2 or Cold War, but I'm open to most (post-)modern war stuff from the Victorian era to contemporary.
