Would the 75mm barrel fit the t23 turret? Thinking about future options and the jumbo

All current and future releases of anything M4 Sherman, most parts are interchangeable for you to be able to customise your tank!  ;)

The mystery is solved! 

Our plan is to include the M4A3E8 with our new M4A3 box - same retail price but with 4 plastic sprues!
No 75/105 mm turret, but with three roadwheel sets, early and late T23 turret... more info later!

For further discussions, we will move back to our M4 Sherman Digital Library post...

Enjoy!

Even though Rubicon Models was formed and registered in July 2014, the October 23 date marked the release of our first 7 kits. With 28 plastic kits now under our belt, we are getting stronger and better!

So, We have seen the sprues & the decals, but no box art yet.
Please Rubicon, lets have this for a Q4/2016 release.

The SdKfz 250 Alte was released in Q2/16 already.  If you are talking about the SdKfz 250 Neu, we are working towards a Q4/16 release if possible.

tyroflyer, welcome to the forum!

We have basically studied all variants.  The Ausf B & C is indeed of interest subject. 
We might not be able to produce them in plastic for quite a while, but it is not difficult
for us to do something about them in the short term.

In fact, we are do some feasibility studies on short term solutions to release some of
our ongoing projects in a faster manner.  Stay tuned.

I suppose when Rubicon has been around for a few years  (40 plus like Tamiya),
the ability to pull and pack single sprues for shipping would be a lot easier than
it would be now.

We are still a very young company (2 years in business) compared to others. 
We simply do not have the human resources to manage so many tasks,
particularly splitting up sprues into a single product code... that will take us
a while!


I hope when Rubicon redesign their kits (Sherman, Pz III & IV) they re think the sprue layouts .

We had already discontinued our Sherman kit, and a new replacement will be on
the horizon before year end.  The Panzer IV and Panzer III will be next!

Fantastic line-up of turrets.  How are you going to sell these - by including them all in every kit?

Of course NOT the case!  Depending on which variants, some Sherman kits will have the
T23 turret and some will have the 75mm version.  However, all kits are cross-platform
compatible, meaning that you can swap turrets and configurations with each other. 
That's also true for road wheels & tracks and transmission housing too!

This is why this M4 Sherman project took so long to complete!  The "skeleton" structure
and key component parts had to be specially designed to be compatible with various hulls
and parts that are not yet designed. 

Hopefully, we should see three kits being able to get released before Q1/17, namely,
M4 / M4A2 / M4A3 plus some of their variants too!  As for M4A1, it had to be sometime
next year; and M4A4 will be much later!

BTW, it was such an honour to have Military Modelling magazine (on their Facebook page) to share our M4 Turrets post and "literally" support us! We are thrilled!

On the subject of Sherman IIIs, here is a challenge, a Duplex Drive version, with floatation screen up, down, removed and a "waterline" version. ^___^

I am afraid you have to kit-bash it!  But for your small hatch Sherman III, we can take care of it for you!

Is one of those turrets for Pinky?

Probably, will call it the "Pinky Special", lol!!

Looking forward to seeing them on Shermans suitable for HM's armed forces.

UVS, there is at least one Sherman Firefly IC and one Sherman Mk III coming... soon!!  ;)

More turrets!

This is an important step towards the second phase of our M4 Digital Library project.
First phase being focusing on the lower hull, transmission housing, road wheels & tracks.

With the T23 Turret being completed (with plastic sprue), we are working hard to get
the M4 75mm Turret done before the end of 2016.  Hopefully we will be able to fit all
components onto a single sprue!

M4 75mm Turret features:

• 75mm / 105mm / 17 pdr gun options
• Choice of mantlets (late or early)
• Choice of high or low bustle turret
• Choice of split hatch or vision cupola
• With or without loader hatch
• With or without cheek applique armour



Enjoy!
;)

Since Italier/WLG already had a Churchill released, we can push the project back until we'd finished other more pressing projects.  We are not in a hurry...
