Allied Stowage Set 1 - CLOSED!

[H0ffmn]

What type of pack is hanging on the side of the Sherman's turret? It sort of looks like a German pack.

I think it's meant to be one of the US pattern packs, although the details aren't quite right.  I don't think Rubicon are too fussed about this sort of detail - I'm guessing it's intended to be fairly generic.

Very good.

One thing that confused me was on the jerry cans and drums picture was why one of the US cans in the multi pack had a different filler cap, it was only when I saw the overall picture I realised that what I thought was a pack of five was actually four plus a separate one ^___^. The difference is only visible with them next to each other.

That will make gearing up allied vehicles much easier and I will not have to nick all the back packs from my BA infantry.

Now I need to get hold of that Company B M4A3 decal set, and does any one know where I can get a 28mm scale milk churn?

To me it looks like a row of US cans with a loose Brit can at the end , and a row of Brit cans with a loose US one .  And by the way the US did have 2 styles of cap on their cans . IRC , the round , screw off cap was on water cans , and the flip top was on fuel cans , that way you can't f*ck up and fill the fuel tanks with water during a blackout  lol .

As long as the US jerrycans match the ones mounted on the M3A1 half-track, it's fine.

We do listen to feedbacks...

Even though not quite sure if our mould makers will be able to etch letter size that small, we'd pushed hard to give it a try!
Here it is!  Not sure if you can still see it after priming and painting... but it is there!

Cool.

I suppose the manufacturing date is out of the question? ^____^

Wow , great looking cans . Your mold makers have really upped their game .  Great comment smurf   lol

[Yaquir]

Wow!

[Remgain]

OK, when will it be available?

As I was working on Sherman 1 number four, I realised that shackles would be really useful. I made ones for my Matilda out of wire, but they lack the Bolt part. It would make using the tow wire loops you provide on both stowage sets easier.

Possibly a bit late for this set, but maybe the next set?

Here is content list for our upcoming "280033 Allied Stowage Set 1" kit.
Each sprue had 39 stowage items (a total of 53 parts per sprue)!

Like it's German counterpart, the Allied set comes with two identical sprues... doubling whatever you seen here!
Actual sprue can be found in an earlier post under this topic!




Enjoy!

I am so looking forward to this one.  All my Rubicon US vehicles have spaces all over them waiting to be filled with bits from this set!

[ultravanillasmurf]

Excellent. This will be really useful.

Lots of useful parts . I still think the wooden crates # 13 , 17 & 18 are way too big . The ones in the German set I used on my 1/35 scale tanks . Some were almost 5 ft long and 2 ft wide in 1/56 scale., too big for ammo crates even for a Tiger II . No way stuff that size would carried  unless it was a bolted on box like the ones seen on the rear of some Stugs . IRC , the M8 had a  larger hub and tire than the halftrack and truck . Also the M8 tires , like most, ( not all ) allied armored cars tires,  were designed to run  flat , so spares weren't carried . As with most stowage sets , I'm going to find use for everything supplied in one of my hobby scales
