Been making some 28mm Kits

For my Chain of Command 28mm British Infantry the welcome sight of a Sherman Mk I (see below, the ubiquitous Western Front armour support): 


She came up nicely, less parts in 28mm than most 20mm kits (see below, looking ship shape and ready for battle): 


Keeping with the 1944 theme, my Crusader originally bought as a Western Desert AFV had a course change and became a AA D-Day+ addition to the British Armour inventory (see below, the Crusader had an extended career with the various specialist functions it found itself in): 


The Western Desert armour support was provided by the Valentine Mk II/III variant (another nice Rubicon kit). I did briefly toy with the idea of a Soviet version but decided that could wait for a 6pdr later variant (see below, 2pdr and 3 inch turret options shown):  


Assembly of 28mm kits is faster than 20mm! Painting might take longer though!

Knock, Knock, Knock! No you cannot come in I am a T-34!

Every early war German infantry platoon needs to be confident in having an effective anti-tank capacity to stop enemy armour. Naturally the Pak 37mm AT gun is perfect for the job of stopping German Armour (Marks I to IV) but please don't ask it to worry a Matilda, Char B1 Bis or T-34 (see below, an optimistic German PAK crew pose for a Signal photograph): 


Crew  (bodies) and gun from Rubicon, but the crew heads are Warlord Germans head-swaps in- which look far better than the smaller Rubicon originals!

The German Army's "Door Knocker" - 37mm of projectile fun!

Well even if nothing more than morale support facing the waves of dreaded T-34's in deepest Russia the PaK 36 AT Gun is waiting to be made for my 28mm Chain of Command early war German Infantry (see below, good luck Hans as Ivan is coming in a tank): 


It is looking earnestly from the safety inside its Rubicon packaging and wants a bit of the action.
