There are also designs and frames for the Wirbelwind shown in the Panzer IV main thread...

Jeez. Look at the size of the rivets on that...  :-\
I have the Perry’s recent IPC -not made a start on it yet, but it’s a lovely model.
Goodness knows why Warlord would bother bringing one out straight afterwards...
Well, obviously I know why, but I doubt it’ll work out that well for them... Perry will have already hoovered up many potential sales for this somewhat niche vehicle, and I imagine, based on past experience, the Perry resin model will be a lot better than the Warlord one.

I saw the new 8th Army and DAK figures from Warlord at Salute. They are predictably chunky and in the Commando comic cartoony Warlord style. Totally incompatible with the ‘true 1/56 scale’ Perry sets alas, and even more incompatible in terms of style. But yes, let’s hope they release some interesting 1/56 scale Desert War vehicles (although the Perrys and Blitzkrieg already have a lot of the usual suspects and the more esoteric items covered. But we can but hope :))

And is the brand new Sdkfz222/3 really sold out within a few hours of the new online store opening?  :o :o :'(

Hmmm. Neither Arcane Scenery and Models nor Great Escape Games seem to have these new Rubicon kits, and both appear to now only carry a partial selection of the wider catalogue.
Until the advent of your UK/European webstore, could you suggest a list of UK stockists with comprehensive stock, including the new releases?

Thanks  :)

Perry do quite an extensive line of Vichy infantry including Senegalese Rifles, so I’ll use those.

Showcase & Gallery / Vichy French AFVs - Rubicon H39
« on: July 08, 2018, 04:50:15 pm »
My Vichy French forces for Syria and the Levant are underway. Here's the Rubicon Models (ex-Neucraft) Hotchkiss H39...

An absolutely gorgeous little model. Nothing added, except for the commander - a Perry DAK Marder crewman with legs amputated, a French headswap and a Green Stuff sand scarf...











Close up...



And here, for the record, the Perry Dodge Tanake armoured truck...





Starting to enjoy the endlessly weird and varied French camo patterns now... :)

The collection will be made up as follows...

A very nice and useful scenic set  :)

More importantly still - bring on the kubelwagen!  8)

Or a scenic accessory sprue for something like a Sherman flail expansion kit?
Or a Churchill AVRE?  :)

Interesting. Wonder where that is. Looks positively hot and sunny... Italy perhaps?

Width antennae?
(Sorry, that’s a guess, I don’t know the answer  ;D)
But I think that’s what they were there for....
