They've all just been released, and are well worth looking at. I've picked up the Opel, M5A1/Recce and accessory set so far, and am very impressed. I'll post some reviews later, if anyone's interested, but my initial impression is that Rubicon have hit a new level of detail and accuracy, without sacrificing ease of assembly.

How they compare size wise to the Medium and heavy tanks Rubicon have already released?

The M5A1/M8 is quite a small model - certainly the smallest they've done so far. But the level of detail is very high, and they've managed to get the detail well defined without overdoing it. It's a very enjoyable build. The Opel has a similar footprint to a large tank.
