Riich Model has sent Armorama news of their latest product which is an ammunition set for the US M1 57mm and 6 PR 7 CWT [BR].
Riich Model is not the most prolific of manufacturers but they have produced some stunning model offerings. This latest release should be a bonus for artillery fans as it contains at least 4 of each item as there are 4 duplicated sprues. The parts while mostly injection moulded plastic also has some photo etched parts and incredibly detailed decal offerings, which I believe will make this the most detailed offering currently available.

Pawel I also would like to see the other kits they have announced and I do not have any idea what the answer to your question is. Perhaps with other offerings having been released they no longer will produce the kits you are asking about, you like everyone else will just need to wait and see.

If you were married to Riich, perhaps. But you aren't. They are a commercial enterprise and announced a product for future sale. I can't imagine you have given them any of your money for those kits yet, so do you know what they owe you? Nothing. Do you know how justified you are in complaining that they haven't been released yet? Not at all. Have a better day, KL

Sorry, But I have a Tamiya one, three Italeri/Zeveda ones and two Resicast ones (ouch!) and I felt the same as Pawel, though I resisted saying it until now. I am glad that Riich has released their set, but am really, really waiting for a good injection kit of the gun to come out. Best wishes, Grant

I don't think Pawel cares if a 6PDR or 57mm is ever released, he is upset that Riich hasn't released a MaxxPro and M109A6 Paladin. KL

Actually yes, I have. No response whatsoever...

In fact I do care, I will add a US 57mm gun to my collection once it's out. But in this case indeed I'm upset about earlier announcements, that have never materialized...

Oh, come on! I' not suing them, or anything like that. I just complain publicly, just as they have publicly announced something and not delivered it. I'm not calling for boycott, I'm not calling them names, etc. I just keep asking questions about their own announcements and I do it at these same places where those announcements were publicized, that's all.

They don't. They don't owe anyone anything. You really have no reason or justification to complain because they have done nothing against you. If those kits never appear you still will have nothing to complain about because you have not suffered in anyway. Hectoring them on every forum is pointless, petty, and makes you appear somewhat demented. KL

Great looking set and one that I am sure will be a welcome addition to any M1 or 6pdr. dioramas. The fact that they chose to offer this as a separate, smaller kit is good as well. I can see this kit being used to create British airborne jeeps and any number of diorama possibilities. In defense of Riich, developing and bringing something to market is roughly about 100 times more complex than most people will ever know. Sometimes plans have to shift and change due to markets or costs. Problems arise, delays happen, unforeseen expenses occur. We have no way of knowing. Jim Large Scale Armory
