I think I'm all done unless someone sees something I missed. I free handed the camo stripes. I'm not 100% happy with them but oh well I'll just have to build more models until I get it right . I based my Stupa on the command unit from Stu.Pz.Abt 216 in '44. Some really nice work going on in this campaign.

If there is an extension, then I will be able to complete my build. Keep us updated on this Bob

These last entries have all been very nice with some impressive little details in weathering and camo. Seeing builds likes these in campaigns is very motivational guys

Neal: That's pretty impressive, I have yet to achieve clean lines that thin.

I vote for an extension too. I have finished 95% of the model, however I could use a little tuning.

Anyway, some pics of the model.













Cheers, P.A.

After last time unluckiness, I send photos of my little contribution. My camera was recently broken, so low quality of photos prevented displaying for a little.

Hello All,
Please remember to grt your finished photo in the right gallery. I will go by the gallery to make my list to award the ribbons. If it is not there, you will not get your ribbon.
I ahve been skimming the posts and have seen some great models, Keep up the good work.
At the end of the campaign I will give you a 24 hour "grace period" to get you photo's posted and then the campaign will be official closed.
Remember that the campaign will end at 2400 Mountain Standard Time ( Here in the U.S.) so some of you wil have a little extra time.
I need to Thank Bob for stepping in when I went into hospital. Great Job. I owe you one.
Cheers,
Bruce
P.S. When does the campaign end. I know you have got an extenstion. So I am not sure about the new end date. Any help is very welcome.
Thanks,
Bruce
