Well my brain has been well and truly bashed by this one...I'm tempted to say it's the underside of an Ork Wartruk.  But my best guess, assuming it is in fact the underside of a vehicle, is that it's an A9/A10 Cruiser or Valentine - mostly because of the spacing of those bolted-on features (which could be the attachment points for the bogey arms), and what looks like a mounting for a return roller in the middle.  But the angles aren't quite right, so I'm probably wrong...

Nice one, Rubicon!  ;)

This is the bottom view of a tracked vehicle, zoom out another 80%...

The track pattern really threw me - then I realised that they're going to be Rubicon's simplified track design, so that's a bit misleading.  A Hetzer?  The access panels match the one in the photo below.  If that's right, it's probably going to be a popular choice, although I think the earlier Pzr 38T variants are more interesting.

Even though the Pz38(t) and Hetzer shared many common components, the chassis is very different.  With a Pz38(t) chassis, we can still do a SdKfz 138 or SdKfz 139H Marder III...

Yeah - that's right.  This seems to have sloped sides so I'm guessing it's a Hetzer.  Did I get it?
