I almost did, but the note "Showcase your work here!" made me think otherwise. Also, when I checked nobody else were posting pics of just the kit boxes alone.

I'll have to go through your thread, but I noticed that your first post to start the thread was of a completed kit (Tiger I). ).

The second (previously broken) link was to my purchases at Salute 2016.

I agree with Ripley and Pinky about the stowage sets (you can never have enough - I need another German one for my Hercules - Sherman VC project).

I have built the 253 and the Jagdpanzer 38(t) (the former is awaiting spray paint for undercoat, the latter had a too spotty ambush pattern and will be revisited). Both are excellent. I look forward to seeing your work on the E8, I have one awaiting construction when I get the opportunity.

I would have posted it under Showcase,  I have a thread there for all my work, however tangential.

I see Warlord/Italeri's next plastic kit (after the Char B1 bis) is the Marder III.

The Warlord site is broken, but you can see it at the bottom under the Char Bis.

I have seen it in a repost of their newsletter.

The Panzer 38(t) is on many of our wishlists.

Warlord's choice of Marder III indicates they might have a Panzer 38(t) in the pipeline (possibly a resized PSC one). I would prefer a Rubicon one.

I couldn't help but notice the following on the Production Schedule list. Most items are of interest, but a few I rated in order of my eagerness to get one.

#1 - PaK 40 AT Gun with Crew in late war uniform http://forum.rubiconmodels.com/index.php?topic=438.msg6277#msg6277
#2 - SdKfz 222/223/260/261 http://forum.rubiconmodels.com/index.php?topic=512.msg7749#msg7749
#3 - SdKfz 7 Halftrack [urlhttp://forum.rubiconmodels.com/index.php?topic=514.30][/url]

And of course the M4A1. http://forum.rubiconmodels.com/index.php?topic=395.msg7521#msg7521

As Pinky notes, there are threads covering these in the work in progress sub forum, see above.

Back on the LRDG list, and with reference to the discussion on the German flak quad cannon on the Opel, could you mount the PAK 36 on the load bed as an LRDG AT truck?

I know that they used 30cwt Chevys but no one does them in plastic (hint hint).

I hope PSC have plenty of Sherman III and CMP at Warfare.

I wonder if we could have a sticky list of wished for items and their relevant thread or in some cases threads (Tiger II I am looking at you!).

Possibly just for the big name items (such as the Tiger II) for maintenance reasons.

It might also help others work in progress items such as Sherman types that are under development but are not obvious such as the Sherman II.

Thanks.

I see Warlord/Italeri's next plastic kit (after the Char B1 bis) is the Marder III.

Why a Marder III and not the other Marder III variants, which was more "popular"?

I think Jimmp_P has a point about it being a PSC derived kit, hence the gun on a tank body rather than a not quite redesigned chassis.

Welcome to the forum.

The M4A1 is on the production schedule:
http://forum.rubiconmodels.com/index.php?topic=211.msg1858#msg1858

There is a wishlist sub-forum for anything you would like Rubicon to consider here:

They even added War Department logos to the British Jerry cans...

Excellent job.

Really must go and see it, but it is "south of the river" and away from the security blanket of the Underground.

Wow.

With exception of the bendy door it looks great.
