    you're bringing back memories as a kid in the 60s. Models @ drug store was .50. when it was finished, it looked like it would bring .40 😁

    I’ve built quite a few Rubicon models in between following your beginners armour modelling builds. I really enjoyed them.

    Nice review of an intriguing kit. Not my scale but very nice. By the way, befehls is roughly pronounced "berfails" to avoid ear torture for our German friends.

    Just a heads up Jason. I built a couple of their kits ,the plastic is ABS and they recommend Plastic Magic Glue or CA. Enjoy your build
  • @John_Sharrock
    These are fantastic little kits,i believe their main use is for table top war gaming,and they are a UK company.The plastic is ABS and requires special cement...I use Plastic Magic. I've built 3 so far...Tiger 1,Panzer IV,and a DAK motorcycle. They go together beautifully,with plenty of options and some nice details. 👍

    they have send me many of them and actually i start this one few weeks ago, i think you going to love them ,very crisp and easy models and with a bit of nice painting are top !
  • Looks pretty good, never built a small tank before. Always one thirty fifth scale but I have to try one
  • @glencwilson
    Fair review. Done a few of their kits and have enjoyed building them and have been very happy with the end result. The variants that you get for many of the vehicles is good too. Think the prices are OK for what you get and they don't take up a a lot of room.
  • Yep. I buy these for table top gaming. Only just getting into scale modelling from that perspective as I wanted ww2 planes for diorama objectives....
  • It looks quite good and I wonder with a little bit of scratch building on a hull whether you could get an early and late model out of that kit.
  • @OldManse09
    1/56th? Could someone explain where that scale came from?
  • Es sind 3 verschiedene Kanonenrohre ! 3,7cm und 5cm kurz + lang, sowie das Rohr für den Flammpanzer III. Das dicke Rohr ist kein Kanonenrohr. Bei den Seitenteilen für den Turm sollte sehr genau hinschauen, da da einige Unterschiede gibt. Dasselbe gilt für das Turmdach. Man sollte auf jeden Fall entsprechende Fachliteratur zu Rate ziehen.
