Thanks!

Thanks for the informative review, Kevin. So I understand the 6pdr is not included in the kit, correct?

Thanks:
Stefan

There is no 6pdr included in the kit.

There is no 6pder in the kit I got mine in the mail last week.

Nice review, Kevin, and a welcome addition to the Allied motor pool. Poor Resicast is seeing their bread & butter items eaten up by Bronco and Riich.

I am not so sure of that as some love the smell of resin and will likely use these as bases for Resicast offerings.

Just started my own Loyd Carrier build, and I have to say - wow!

Fit has been perfect so far, and the clean-up has been very easy. It's still early in the build, yet, so something might crop up, but so far, so good.

I recently finished the Riich 6 pdr AT Gun to pull behind my Loyd Carrier, and it's hard to believe that the two companies are part of the same larger corp. The Riich kit was very well detailed, but clean-up was a real bear. The Bronco kit, on the other hand, has been a joy. Very "crisply" and cleanly molded.

Nice subject (makes sense given their 6pdrs) and the kit contents look good. Looking fwd to seeing some of your build pics Mike .... hint hint!

cheers

Brent, you'll have to check track-link for a bit to see the Loyd Carrier build:

Track-Link::Build Blogs::Bronco CB35188, Loyd Carrier No.2 MK.II

What can I say? The man made me an offer I couldn't refuse...

Should have some pics of the actual build by tomorrow. Just waiting on a couple of things to dry so I can handle them.

For giggles and grins, here's the Riich 6 pdr AT Gun build:

Happy modeling!

Ahhhh, coolness! I shall pop over and have a shifty. And we've all had offers we couldn't refuse at times

cheers

Maybe Armorama could have a separate forum or database or
something where each "member" could list all the words,
expressions, direct or indirect references and anything
else that they could get offended by ?
Then we could all check the list before we write anything
to try to avoid everyones sensitivities.

P.S. Don't use the german colloquial expression, used during WWII, for some types of the german manned torpedoes since that word could be considered offensive

I must admit to having missed all these virtual cat-fights (tongue firmly-in-cheek ) saying that, sometimes you put your foot in it without any bad intentions.

At the beginning I didn't see the polítical incorrectness at all, however, now it¡s been mentioned, I can understand how it could upset people.

Saying that, I still don't see it as an intentional racist slur.

Hi, easyco69. Do you live in Akwesasne? Mohawks and Iroquois (during the colonial eras) were awsome! Too bad Champlain went and made enemies of them. I knew a couple of guys from Kannewake years ago - cool guys.
