UVS models: Salute 2021 11/12/2020

[ultravanillasmurf]

What with one thing and the other, I have not had not much enthusiasm for modelling (I do have the Sherman IC Hybrid and LRDG Chevy awaiting detailing, plus the saga of the T34/85) but I have sort of finished an M76 Otter in 1/50 for Vietnam.

Why is it here, well Rubicon supply the decals.




Good use was made of the USMC jeep numbers from two of their kits (see also the V100 USMP armoured Car).

I hope the Centurion reaches these shores soon, I am going to need those decals...

Haha, I have boxes full of Rubicon Decals. Need to start sorting them for trades as I need 1st and 11th Panzer divisions.

Lovely look Otter.

I'll be keeping my ww2 stuff at 28mm for gaming but im looking at maybe a Centurion in 1/35 for display at some point, just need to get the T60 1/35 kit started 1st!

My first purchase/order from my local bookshop once they reopened  was the Osprey War-games Zona Alfa Blue Book.

The rules are for small scale skirmish inspired by games such as Stalker and Metro, the novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky and films and photographs of the Chernobyl Exclusion zone.


The only excuse to show this photograph is the container has the number and a unit marker from the Rubicon T34 decal set.

And another (ultra)modern model.

Empress 1/50 GAZ Tigr.

The Osprey New Vanguard book on Russian Special Forces vehicles has a plate showing one with a Guards badge on the door.

The Guards badge and the number plates are from the Rubicon decal set for the Studebaker.

Long time no posts.

It was great to get to Salute this year, and there were a number of interesting models on the Rubicon stand.

Most of my Rubicon purchases (the other Valentine kit was in a separate bag and got missed during the phot session).




I forgot the Sherman V.
