Ozzy Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 from the first Sherman STGB. Dragon 1/35 I thought I’d give one of these a go. They are made for the War gaming community, 1/56 or 28mm the kit allows for various options as well as the firefly option. The current Rubicon range is growing and the kits look really good once built, It’s been a New Years resolution for the past couple of years to build one of these kits so here goes. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Presumably once you start a Rubicon model, there's no going back. 😁 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit looks good; I can only echo other people's comments about the range and scope of the decal options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Robert, it’s not just the decals, there are 2 turrets to allow you to build a number of different options If only I had 2 Hulls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 I finally pulled my finger out and started this build after I got side tracked building a Harrier GR3, in the box you get all the bits to build 75, 105mm Sherman’s as well as the Firefly. the tracks are one piece with the addition of the rear bogeys and sprocket. the detail on the kit is really nice, I did need to buy some solvent based glue as my Deluxe materials non solvent glue wasn’t that successful. the crew figures look really detailed, the driver has two bits on the side to attach to the hull. next to get some paint on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Hi Ozzy! Great to have you back and that does look like a really well detailed model for such a small scale! Lovely job! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely job! Kind regards, Stix thanks Stix, a bit of alfresco modelling and a chance to use some solvent based glue while keeping the family happy, yeah I’m really impressed with the kit and the detail you get. I'm going to add some plastic card to add the side armour patches before adding some paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodmin Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Nice Ozzy. They're not too shabby them wargaming models. Simple to put together and then your own work to bring them to life. I acquired a Warlord T-34 which I'll be having a bash at soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, they are nice kits and there is a really good range of subjects covered, I look forward to seeing your T-34 as I’ve not built a warlord kit before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
