RESIN Project - Italian Tank Crew 190620

Looks good . I assume your going to add the  tools on the engine cover  , the  jack and spare wheels as separate parts ?

[Captain Blood]

Looks sharp as anything. This might finally tempt me into adding a small Italian contingent to my WW2 desert war collection...

[ultravanillasmurf]

Nice, and as you mention in the blurb they ended up being used in "if it moves we use it" stage of the North African campaign.

Tempting.

Depends on the number of carriers I will get....

Rubicon resin vs resin you’re used to are two totally different things.

Most people think that Rubicon resins are plastic.

I agree they are excellent.

Enjoy!

By the way, it says resin and pewter kit, what bits would be pewter (I am guessing guns and barrels).

Various Italian prototypes painted...



Enjoy!

Good job RM, they look nice.
I can't wait to see when these tanks get released in plastic kit form.

[ripley]

They will be out in plastic Tracks , but it's Italeri who's releasing them that way

Their resin tanks are so nice. I cannot stress this.

I had some people looking at my French tanks at the weekend and were wondering where I got plastic French R35 and H35 from.

Unless you’re planning of hacking them apart to kitbash, why do they need to be plastic?

[ripley]

As you said , plastic  to kit bash

[ultravanillasmurf]

Very tempting.

And I worry that this is will cancel RM's original plans to eventually release theirs in plastic.

So many reasons to favor plastic. Kitbashing is just one of them.

On that basis, why should Rubicon do any of their kits in plastic?

I'll be waiting for the Warlord plastic kit.
