I've been looking at these kits (especially the Panzer III), and I'm wondering where they are designed and manufactured. Their website gives no hint - anyone know? I also noticed that the actual plastic kits shown in the reviews on some sites are rather less impressive than the crisp prototypes on Rubicon's website.

Okay, thanks. I think I know where they being designed. As I said, I think you'll find they're not quite as sharply moulded as the prototype photos suggest. Better than Warlord's own efforts, like the SdKfz 251, but about the same as the kits Italeri are doing for them.

And there's a Tiger I in the works. I think including Zimmerit on their Tiger was a good move. And Warlord isn't quite so fixated on German armour.

Huh? It's not about enjoying the hobby in different ways... I just said I'd prefer it didn't because I mostly would want one for earlier in the war prior to zimmerit and it's a lot easier to add zimmerit than remove it

I suck at adding Zimmerit, and the later versions always had it, so I prefer Warlord/Italeri's approach.
