Work In Progress / Re: Project of the Month - Dec 2021 - M3 Lee & Grant

Rubicon,
Thank you for responding so quickly. Is there any chance that you could let us know what your next wave of releases may be? You've went through and turned all of your projects on the Production Schedule into kits on the market. That's very commendable!!

If you do opt to model the WG 38t as an earlier Ausf A thru Ausf C, you would need
to shape the front upper hull at an angle, along the lines of, say a Panzer IV Ausf D or E, building up the front left upper hull by the machine gun area on the 38t Aust A thru C.,moving it forwards. You would have to rebuilt the upper hull access hatch at the radio operators position, thin the upper hull and front turret armor plates, and add a riveted plate around the turret machine gun position. For the Ausf A and B, you would need to redo the exhaust, lowering it, and instead of leaving the exhaust to the muffler angled, you would have to make the exhaust pipe go straight into the muffler . On the Ausf A and B models, you would need to remove the splash ring around the turret as well.
I guess you could always just use the Panzer 38t Aust E as it is. I'm sure a lot of people do,and how many people would know,or care if you did. If that were the case, then ,why stop there? Just make a single Panzer III Ausf J,and proxy it it as a Panzer III Ausf E,or as any German tank?
I like to model and use the correct tank model for the correct time period. I'm sure that there are others that do as well. That is why I brought up the question to Rubicon to possibly make a Panzer 38t in the future. I hope that they do.

Wish Lists / Panzer 38t

« on: July 25, 2023, 09:27:31 am »

Any way the Panzer 38t ausf B could be put on the wishlist? Warlord's 38t ausf E is okay, but nobody makes the ausf B , in plastic, resin or even 3d printed.
Please consider this and add it to the list.
Thanks

Even though there hasn't been much activity here, I thought I would post this. I've been trying to convert Warlord's 38t, from a 38t Ausf E to a Ausf B without much luck in doing so.There's a lot of small small parts to try to make to the front turret armor and the front upper hull. Is there any chance that earlier models of the Panzer 38t ,and the Panzer 35t could be put on Rubicon's wish list???
Thanks

I always cut the supporting connection bits between the roadwheels. I don't care for the way they look, although on some kits they are hard to see. I don't like removing the molded on vehicle tools. I don't like taking the chance of removing too much surrounding details, like the tread pattern on the mudguards of the Panzer 3 or Panzer 4 when doing this.

I 'm not on Facebook, but I am able to see Rubicon's posts on Facebook,and go there frequently to see the upcoming kits they are working on. I just would like to see an updated production schedule if possible.
