Forgot to mention, have been doing a few bits for my DAK since including (finally!) the SdKfz.250/3 and Rommel. The expansion kit is great and really shows how far the Rubicon crew figures have come on!



On a more serious note, how should I paint the interior? Am I right in thinking the (visible) parts of the halftrack interior should just be painted the same as the outside?

Loooong overdue an update! Finished the Hellcat and Rubion M20 a while ago, but never posted any pictures. For some reason didn't really pick up on the fact that the breech guard I'd made wasn't long enough until I'd finished it. Lesson learned anyhow! Pleased with how the colour came out in the end (I think).

Looks great. G (or F w. 50mm) is what I'm most looking forward to for my DAK, as well as the right (early... -ish) N version for the Tiger units in Tunisia.

Add another vote for no zimmerit! Definitely not on plastic kits at least, resin options it's not so bad.

Very cool! Will leave the various MDF type options to in its wake! 

Some minor points on the labelling of parts (since, unlike tanks, this is something I know about ), what you have down as "mooring bitt" should be called a "cleat" and the "chock" is a "fairlead".

Are you going to do some breached sections?

No plan for that atm.

Some damaged sections would be nice! Maybe as a resin add-on?

Finally, have the time to update our Release Schedule with the latest info... plastic kits are now slowly back on track!
Looking forward to a HUGE Q3 release!

Enjoy!

That's a lot of metal! Secret projects 1 and 2... intriguing!

Any ideas when we might see the resin track "upgrades" released?

However, we have to face reality, and that is we may not see these great kits for sometime.

Reality sometimes in good for everyone... How about Q3 and Q4 releases? We do want to spend the time to start the Panzer III Digital Library Project asap! 

Yes please on the PzIII!!

Could probably convert the left and right arms holding binocs to machine gun arms Jimmy.

True! Just would be easier if the option was included 

I didn't realise the GMC truck came with that option.... planning to get one at some point, moved up the priority list now, thanks!

This is the first test-shot of our 2 plastic figure sprues US Tank Crew. A total of 25 parts which allow various combination of poses to build 4 tank crew limited only by your imagination. This will be available as blister pack later this year.

They really do look great, but..... please please (please), in amongst all those options can there not be some arms to allow one of the crew to be firing a pintle mount?

No idea! But it looks ace! Particularly looking forward to this kit 

And that doesn't look like plastic on the wire mesh on the top of the turret...?!

Thanks. Your Pz3 does look cool!


Hmm, good point on the thickness of the rod - I guess it's probably 1mm ish, was just what I had to hand. Think I will try and get some thinner rod and try again?

I don't tend to name tanks tbh!
