ANZACS and the return of 'Them', ( & Cthulu Kong, Goldylocks etc!))
Black Suns Armour Part 2 Americans.
My final American armour completions were a mix of pre Xmas builds and base coated I the Form of a 2nd M48 ( of course I did) and an M42 Duster ( I’ll.leave that till.last) the recently built M113 ACAV and a the newly Purchased M551 Sheridan.
Now I had been holding out for the Rubicon resin kit, but it’s been out of stock for ages so went for the Full Metal models version.
The above is done as an U.S.Marines M48 there are enough decals on Rubicon sheet for 2 different Marin vehicles.
With the M551 I’m not sure if I got the extra armour around the Commanders Copula right as I only had some not particularly detailed pictures either from the model illustrations or real life period photos to work on. The Commander figure is one of the many spare figures from Rubicon kit. This and the subsequent M113 ACAV have been done as members of the 1th Armouted Cavalry Regiment or famed Black Horse Regiment , partly done as there was a nice collection of decals for them stacking up from all the Rubicon M113’S, but also as a tribute to the late David Drake, Author of the Hammers Slammers series of Sci fi books who served as Intelligence officer in that Regiment.
