Late War Quartet
« on: March 27, 2021, 01:49:12 am »
Four models that I would love to see produced are from the late war period are the Russian JS III, the British Centurion, US M26 Pershing,
and the M24 Chaffee in plastic.

Well, they've already got a Centurion and a Pershing in the works, so I have great news about 50% of this!

I was not aware of that. Thanks. Hope the Pershing has some USMC decals. My Easy 8 is getting real lonesome in my Korean War collection.

The JS III  really appeared too late to fight in the war  , but it did scare the hell out of the Allies  when it showed up in the Victory Parades in Berlin . I'ld rather have a JS 122/152  SPG

Yes, quite true, but I am really interested in expanding past WWII into the late 1940's and throughout the 1950's. The JS III scared folks for a long time. I can still remember as a kid seeing JS III's in Hungary on TV during the uprising. While much of that period I cited was using the stuff left over from WWII, there was also a lot of new designs based upon wartime experience entering service. That era holds my interest. I am not a gamer. I am a model builder, so I don't know if vehicles of this era would find a market for a company like Rubicon, That said, I think the time between 1946 and 1960 is the most neglected era for armored vehicle modeling.

I would certainly buy a couple  js3 as iam interested in the arab israeli conflicts, used by Egypt up to at least 67 and a few captured examples used by the Israeli as static arty from 67 until the captured ammo ran out or until 73 . Or at least the js3m was but not that much of a conversion.
Js 152 also used by Egypt upto at least 73 so yep would get one of them
