Rubicon put both variants in a single kit as well, but that is nothing new from them, as most of their kits offer several variants and options to begin with.

Rubicon Models M8 Scott

Plastic is more and more present in wargaming, and with the popularity of the setting and scale, it is no wonder that companies like Rubicon keep releasing new kits. This time, i'll be covering the M8 Scott / M5A1.

Heer46 Panther F Schmalturm

As Heer46 announced, that they will expand their range from 15mm / 1:100 into the 28mm / 1:56 scale, i was really, really excited. After the SdKfz 247b, one of the latest novelties is the Panther F Schmalturm.

Bergepanzer and Sherman ARV

Model builders in 1:35 or other scales have a lot of options and conversion kits to chose from, something that is rather rare in 1:56 / 28mm. After looking for it for a while now, I found a few kits and sets at S&S model shop.

The kits work with plastic kits from Rubicon or Warlord Games, and I bought a few sets, among them an ARV set for a sherman and the Bergepanzer III set for a PzKpfw III.

Rubicon PzKpfw III Ausf. J/M/N

Rubicon is a new manufacturer from Hong Kong with 1:56 scaleplastic kits. And that is reason enough for a small tank week, that will cover reviews of several tanks, beginning with the Panzerkampfwagen III Ausführung J / M / N.

The kit is delivered in a transparent bag, covers three sprues, an instruction and a decal sheet. It is the Panzer III, of which as a medium battle tank around 5.700 units were built between 1936 and 1943. The chassis was built until the end of the war, as a base for tanks like the StuG III, that was manufactured more than twice the amount than the Panzer itself.
