Sprue G: Will be used as the lower chassis for the M3 Lee/Grant and M7 Priest.

We are one sprue closer to a M3 Lee/Grant kit.
Along with many others, I have plans for these.

Keep up the good work!

These sprues look very nice, Rubicon. I look forward to your M4A1 releases.

This will come with a turret sprue and a sprue with the later tracks, right?
Correct!
Excellent.

So pretty. Soon I’ll be able to finish off my battalion.

The early M4A1 looks superb. I appreciate the fact that Rubicon produce so many kits with options like this.
If I have a minor criticism it’s the one piece light guards but I can live with that.

So.. I know I’ve asked this many times (on here and in person) and I was told it probably won’t happen. And I know after the A1 and A4 is released, some people will be glad to see the back of Sherman’s.. but..

Can we please have an M3A3(75) kit? Preferably with small and large hatch versions?

I know they can be kit bashed from other kits, but the A3 is the odd one out by not having its own 75mm and 76mm kits.

If you don’t have the small hatch hull, it’s just a “simple” job of box art and boxes, as all the frames exist already (although I’m aware that boxes and box art isn’t cheap as people think).

Pretty please?

Our M4 Digital Library project is almost drawing to a close soon... Both M4A1 and M4A4 are close to releasing!

Anyone who has special request(s) on the decal sheet for the upcoming M4A1/M4A1(76) and M4A4/Firefly VC can drop your comment below. 

If you have ARTWORK that you would like to include on the sheet, please attach references for us to review. Enjoy the fun!

;)

Of course, keep the standard white stars and markings (serial numbers and what not), but maybe a few yellow stars and markings wouldn't hurt. For something like US Sherman tanks in North Africa for example.

Unfortunately, yellow is sometimes a difficult color to work with at times, this includes decals.

If you could, please add a mailed fist surrounded by lightning bolts  like this, in addition to the yellow stars ,yellow company insignia,yellow identification stripe, and maybe some blue drab registration numbers.

Still very much a WIP for the M4A1 decal sheet, this is NOT FINAL!

The printer might not like it because they are tightly packed, might need to take away some for printing.

Tried something new to include "boxes" to group things together for single-vehicle (historical-wise) use.

What do you think?



Enjoy!
;)
