Permission to come on board?

I will do one of the following
M4A2E8 90mm-1/35

T34/122 howitzer-1/48 This will be a T34/85 armed with a 122mm howitzer instead of the 85mm I plan on adding bed spring armor

If any AM company ever makes a late M4A2 hull,I'd like to build a USMC M4A2 with a 105mm turret For like an invasion of Japan scenario

My nominees for final project at this point are:
- KV-2
- E-25
- E-10 all these from Trumpeter,
- Flakpanzer Coelian
- Panther F
- Panther II
first two are DML, last one is that forthcoming Cyber-Hobby model, which is said to be arrived on March. I have none of these on my stash so far, but I´m expecting them to arrive during next 2 - 4 weeks, except Panther II and both KV-2 and E-25 I´m planning to buy on local model expo at the end of february. For all these I´m planning a new, hypothetic version of Finnish war time 3 colours camo. Making desicion is hard but not as hard as explaining to wife, why my stash has increased mysteriously.....

I just went to pick up my Krupp E-100 turret from Cammets. Looks great. Now another Trumpeter E-100 and the Voyager upgrade and I'm set more or less. :-)

Hi folks, after some brainstorming I decided I'm going to build a slightly modified E-10 for this campaign. The plan is ... that it is going to be a kind of "Lend-Lease"version Axis-style, so a German built E-10 but used by the Japanese Imperial Forces in their fight against the Sovjet Army. The paintjob ? Maybe something exotic ... Who knows, it's still a long time before we can start so ... Hey maybe it all turns out into a nice little dio !

Hello there, 've been thinking (this starts getting painful, the thinking that is !) of a little dio of some kind of ambush-setting. Just been reading that the E-10 should have been equipped with a adjustable suspension. They could have lowered the little panzer to a 1,40 meter. So ... lower the E-10 is a part of the campaign-plan ! And the diosetting ? Sandy terrain perhaps ... Suggestions anyone ? Grtz Ed.

Other than North Africa,I can't think of anything else for a sandy type of terrain Unless you want to put Israeli markings on it

Eddy,
the Syrians used Panzer IV's and Stug III's against the Israeli's. If WWII had gone on long enough for the E-10 to have been built, the Syrians might have bought them.

Pure "What-If" fantasy- but how about a Syrian E-10 on the Golan Heights??

and if the Syrians used them - the Israelis might have captured them...and your off....

Hi guys, an E-10 with Israeli-markings, wow ! This is some serious "what-if"thinking ! What I had in mind for the "sandy" conditions was a possible Japanese engagement in, now get this - the Gobi-desert . But , again the Israeli E-10, it sounds awesome ! Hey, if I can't make up my mind what 2 build I'll build both versions ! Thnx 4 the ideas. 4 all !

Yo der Generalzod, I know man, the 1 of june is still a long way ... But time flies if you're having fun, right ? A bit of research (2 make it a little bit authentic ) maybe ordering some stuff (we all know that takes -sometimes- forever) and then building the whole thing ...
And then you change your mind (sounds familiar ?)
I think I'm going to do some Gobi-research, or maybe Mongolia ? Oh boy ... some new ideas are forming.
Grtz, Ed

But I'm ready to pop now Got my kits and I'm vainly trying to resist.

Many recent campaigns have had extensions to their finish dates, maybe we could get a pre-tension to our start date

Anyway, heres a couple of my choices

cheers
