Work In Progress / Re: Project of the Month - Jan 21 - M113A1 APC 3D Drawings 210101
« on: January 13, 2021, 03:00:23 am »
I hope the M577 and M106 will be in plastic . But by the way for the australian version with the T50 turret i hope rubicon will go further by using it to make an armoured car cadillac gage V100. 
Of course the same could be said for the close support turret which could be used with a saladin armoured car.

Fantastic news ! congrats RM !
M113A1, M577 and M106 will be on my shopping list for sure (3 M113; 1 M577 and 1 M106 for sure) without forgotting 3 HUEYS and 2 or 3 ford MUTT.
As you will make the M106 and the M113 do you intend to make the M901 version too ?
and for going with theses APC by the way will you make a M60 or a M48 ? or why not a M551 sheridan ?
In any cases cases thanks so much for your fantastic job RM.

Wish Lists / Anyone for a sheridan ?

Hello
I am delighted by the perspective of a vietnam area 28mm kits. So with the future release of the UH1D and the ford MUTT I would be pleased to have a M551 sheridan tank for my rubicon's marines in vietnam
In vietnam the Sheridan was much appreciated by the infantry, who were desperate for direct-fire support, and generally served in armored cavalry units along with ACAVs (M113s). Armor units consisted solely of tanks (minus headquarters company) and mechanized infantry units consisted solely of M113s. In this role, the real problem with the Sheridan was its limited ammunition load; normally, only 20 rounds and 8 missiles; although, as the M551s in Vietnam service were not equipped with missiles or their guidance equipment, this increased the basic load of conventional rounds.
among different Combat field modifications, a common field-modification was to mount a large steel shield, known as an "ACAV set" (Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle), around the commander's 50-cal. (12.7 mm) gun, allowing it to be fired with some level of protection.
An other standard modification made during the mid-70s was the addition of the "Cereal Bowl" commander's cupola.
Post-Vietnam War service
The Army began to phase out the Sheridan in 1978, although at the time there was no real replacement. Nevertheless, the 82d Airborne Division was able to keep them until 1996.

Will rubicon will include a wespe in their panzer II 3D drawing ? that could be a great opportunity to add with some little more work at the same time a 105mm german field artillery to their range ?

I will pick up a sd 10 too myself. But a sdkfz 11 was the most constructed half track with 9000 produced…...so in my opinion a sd 11 is as needed as a sd 10.

I barely dream of the jagdpanther IV options with short barrel and long barrel !!!!
According to me it will be easy for rubicon with their panzer IV new molds.
In the same way RUBICON should maybe think about an sdkfz 11 (as they already have the tracjs of sdkfz 251 ) for towing their pak 40n or pak 38

Hello,
First : Many thanks for your efforts in the diversity and the quality of your products.
Second question : I Don't now if it's the right place for asking this question but I really want to know when are we going to have the jagdpanzer IV released now that we had the chance to have the panzer IV released ( and i am realy realy so pleased by this new panzer IV released that I have bought 7 of them….gloups ). I Don't want to be misunderstood because in any cases I think it's already a chance for all gamers to have a such dynamic team like Rubicon models that i am ready to wait as long as you will need to release the jagdpanzer IV.
