Our upcoming M3/M3A1 Expansion Kit will include an M21 MMC upgrade with two tarpaulins for the M3 and M3A1 half-track... plus an extra bonus - a standalone 81mm Mortar Team!

The M21 looks pretty good. A higher angle would have been better, since the interesting stuff is all inside.
Why is the M4A2(76mm) in US Army markings? It wasn't used by the US Army at all (or the US Marines - they only used the 75mm version). Virtually the entire M4A2(76mm) production went to the Red Army. We discussed all this earlier.

Do you get one of your new bases with the mortar crew?

Unfortunately no, not with this batch of releases.

Yes, we are aware of it. Awaiting artist to give us a new render. In the meantime, we are using this for headers only.

So presumably it will come with Red Army markings?
The figures for the M21 look good.

Only tank numbers without the red star!
-
And some patriotic slogans?

We also need some Soviet issue logs and shrubbery for the kit to be totally accurate :D

Not this time, just turret number.

No extra stowage as this will be a SIX sprue kit... no more space for the extras!

PaK 36 box art posted...

And the CMP!
Yay!

Those sinister looking pseudo-SS figures again...
Very much looking forward to the CMP.

Good 3d model figures are very difficult to come by, even if you are willing to pay money for them :(
-
Will the PaK 36 have the Russian style spoke wheels and Soviet crew option?

Just added our last artwork for Q3/17 new releases!
-
The M4A2 looks a bit weird. It seems to be a cross between a British and US Army vehicle. Is this your usual artist?

Same guy. I think it was the render angle looking up... sort of loving this scene though. Is different from others.
-
Yay on the Sherman III, though the decoration is a bit non descript.
Strange cast numbers on the transmission cover.
So now the question is when are they going to be available?

It's a young boy telling the commander the way, right? Nice concept, but the perspective is off, and the details on the tank are vague. Neither this nor the M4A2 (76mm) artwork seem up to standard.
-
The last of the Q3/17 assembly instructions and decal sheets are finally completed!
Together with the new resin supporting material, now sending to our printer for colour proofing...

Excellent ! I now know what my kids can get me for Xmas, two of everything
-
Great stuff - I'm in for the French, and need at least a couple of 15 CWT trucks :)

The upcoming October release includes our first M3/M3A1 Halftrack Expansion kit - M21 MMC & M3/M3A1 Tarpaulin Set. Besides a highly detailed M21 interior, the kit includes FIVE plastic figures with two onboard and the other three formed a standalone dismounted 81mm Mortar Team.

I'll be getting two of these. One for the M21 and one for the stand alone which will start the basis of a new US army for me.

This is one of the configuration you can build from our upcoming 280055 M4A2 Sherman / Sherman III kit... A British Sherman Mk III !!

Very nice
-
Yes, that's very nice indeed. Great paintjob too. Please remember though that those additions to the upper hull were the rear sections of the sand shields, and were neither standard Sherman III fittings nor particularly common.
-
looks fab
-
Nice.
Going to need a few of them.

Q3/17 New Releases are almost around the corner!
Clearing out our warehouse for the new stock to come in...

I hope PSC have plenty of Sherman III and CMP at Warfare.
-
Great - I'll be getting some CMPs and Sherman IIIs too. The M4A2 box art is still wierd - it should have been a Sherman III in Italy (the 8th Army camo would have been particularly attractive - like the lovely painted version above).
Good to see the M4A2(76mm) box art is fixed. Does it come with Soviet crew?
Looks as though the Pak 36 has a lot of extras - good value.

When the box art renders are done, it is very difficult to make big adjustments because of the various composition issues with 2D and 3D objects. And most of these were done many months (and even year) ago before final sprues are done.

Afraid not because of the way we designed the sprue now. Our plastic soviet crew (blister pack) will be very useful when they become available later.

Nice!
Originally the PaK 38 / PaK 97/38 AT Gun was announced that it would include crew in a "mid-war" uniform, but the description now says "early war" uniform. I think changing this to an early war uniform is better.
Just as a side note:
It says, "Includes 1x standalone & 1x vehicle-mounted Pak 36". To bad it wasn't going to be, "Includes 2x standalone Pak 36 with options for vehicle-mounted"
