Impressive indeed! Conversion of the Rubicon model?

Rubicon plastic is bullet proof though!

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Excellent conversion.

Thank god it has a jib crane, that gag will take a while to recover from.

Great job 

[Helen]

Lovely work Rich!

[Ballardian]

Fantastic job  , that was quick (Iassume you only got hold of the new version of the Rubicon Sherman recently)!

It arrived on 27th April - nice kit but the plastic ignores the revell contacta!

[Ballardian]

 Yes, whatever plastic Rubicon use is a bit temperamental about glue - I also use Contacta & found very lightly keying the surfaces to be mated with some fine wet & dry/glass paper helped - well nothings fallen apart yet at any rate.

[Rich H]

Yes it sort of sticks but the plastic is very resistant!  Apparently tamiya solvent works better on them?  No idea but it might be worth a go.

IIRC I used Humbrol on the last Rubicon kit I made but then I have also used the Italeri brush on and Revell and had no issues with adherence. Hope they haven't changed the plastic.
