Must be Brit slang , never heard of it here in Canada .
It is the automatic fire sound effect kids make.

Oh  that's  the 40 K forum . Never got bitten by the space fantasy bug , find it hard to paint tanks red or blue  and cover them in skulls  :o
It is the removing the skulls that is the challenge (and not in a vegetarian way - sorry British brand of  synthi-meat originally manufactured by ICI that sounds like a Great Womble trademark ^__^).

As a forum it gives me a migraine, content and colours.

Re: German AA/AT Guns - 3.7cm FlaK 43 eDrawings 180407

3D drawings of a 3.7cm FlaK 43 with SdAh 58 trailer. Presumably a single sprue plastic kit that can be upgraded to become one of the following based on our planned releases:

(1) 3.7cm FlaK 43 Flakpanzer IV "Ostwind"
(2) Flakpanzer Mobelwagen with 3.7cm FlaK 43
(3) 3.7 cm Flak 43 auf SdKfz 7/2

Things are just getting better!









Enjoy!
;)

Another German gun?  It looks great, but it feels as though we're getting increasingly focused on German stuff.  Some Allied artillery would be very welcome.

It might be true, but this series of AA/AT guns are basically expansion add-on for the SdKfz 7.  We are already researching some Allied guns that we are interested... ;)

Yes, you explained how this gun will compliment other kits.  But meanwhile there are important Allied guns that would be far more useful to wargamers - like the 2-pdr, 6-pdr/57mm and the various Soviet pieces.

Re: German AA/AT Guns - 8.8cm FlaK 36/37 Gun Crew 180505

Our ALL plastic 8.8cm FlaK 36/37 gun crew... a total of 8 figures in early to mid-war uniform.
Additional pewter crew in blister packs will be added upon gun release; that will include DAK and late war figures!





Enjoy!
;)

Aren't these figures in early war uniform?

Since you will only be doing alternative crews in metal, could you provide the basic crew with later uniforms, without jackboots?  They could then be painted for North Africa, Mediterranean, Norman and Russia.

These poses seem rather static too.  There's no urgency in their movement - they look like they are on an exercise.  Rather like the older Tamiya poses.  There should be at least one covering his ears, and someone pulling a round out of an ammo container.

It's not even Friday and we simply can't hold our excitement and anticipation over these batch of TS1 sprues from the mould factory... we're drooling all over!
More detailed pictures later!



Enjoy!

Thanks Rubicon Models. The spues for the 88 look very good.

Hopefully Rubicon Models will be looking at some of the more important Allied AT-Guns that would very useful to wargamers. AT-Guns guns like the US 37mm and 57mm, British 2-pdr and 6-pdr/57mm, and some of the more common Soviet field guns.

There are still Axis guns to be looked at as well because there are the few Japanese AT-Guns that are seriously under represented in our hobby.
