Any more thoughts guys on the kit's you'll be building ?

So far I think we have a :

Firefly Vc
Cromwell IV
7TP single turret
a wingy thing
wz.34-II
Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf D

There are many more opportunities out there and some great kits !

Something really different would be nice from one of you, let us know what you're thinking for the Campaign


Cheers

I'm thinking about 7TP twin turret version. Some other options are rumbling in my skull but the 7TP is on the surface at the moment

So many things to build...hard to choose something particular right now. I have few airplanes which may be build here, certainly I'll make one of them. Maybe some figure too.

Nice Wojtek - I didn't know that the Navy had T-34's, very interesting. If you have more info include it in your build posts.

For those who consider building tanks I suggest to take a closer look on these sets of decals from Bison. Having many really good kits of vehicles you can widen your choice I think, mostly for the vahicles used in Italy by the II Corp.

ARMO:
35901 September '39 – Polish soldiers (2 fig.)
35902 September '39 - Polish soldiers (2 fig.)
35903 September '39 - Polish soldiers (2 fig.)

Dragon:
6344 — "28th Infantry Division" set contains a Polish POW soldier amongst Germans

I've ordered some 'bits and pieces' from "Jadar Model".

These will come in handy, including some nice PE for the 7TP, and believe it or not....

a Polish WWII "Wingy thing"

I think we need tp get some more Polish modellers to join

Join up, Join up, and build something a little different to what you normally do.

How about some Tankettes ? Surely someone will do a 20 mm TKS





Cheers & keep posting

I've built a TK-3 some time ago for this diorama. It had some fit problems but I like the result. It's really tiny...

Nice work Andrzej !

Yes it's like a 1/72 scale build isn't it ?

It'd be good to see one built here with a bit of a Blog, and also one that uses good references.

I have the 20 mm kit above with the interior, but I also have many other potential subjects after the 7TP Too many choices and too few Campaigns that suit

Cheers

Paul

This is an awesome reference for anyone wanting a reference on the TKS Tankette.

"Cockroaches against Panzers"



Highly recommended (in Polish but with great pictures and diagrams).

I checked my stash and found out that I have a lot of flying stuff to build.

For this campaign I will build for sure a figure from Adalbertus in 1:35scale of the polish 39' soldier with the UR anti-tank rifle (a prize in the Adalbertus Contest on the Historicus Forma) and an airplane, don't know which one yet, maybe more than one. I have 1/48scale Spitfire V and RWD-8 and in 1/72 PZL P-7, RWD-14, Jak-23, 2x PZL-23 Karaś. For me personaly this campaign could be active for at least 2-3 years...

Thanks Michal,

I have ordered a 1/46 PZL P II c with PE & some references - I will see how I go, as I prefer to do Armor

Maybe we should make this Campaign a little longer ?

Hey Anthony !

I'm "wrapped" to have you on board, it has made my day - Welcome mate !

Yes TKS's, 7TP's, "Wingy things", even a Leo 2A4 Too many choices here

Like I said earlier, the German armor modellers have some options here too.

Panther's, Pz III's, Hezters, etc etc.

Cheers

I would be really tempted to model a Polish Hetzer, but I think I'm going to stick with my Firefly Vc. I didn't realize this, but it already has the Polish decals so I should be set for this campaign.

If I don't leave this coming week then I'll have your banner and ribbon for ya within that timeframe. Otherwise it'll be a couple of weeks until I get back. I already know what I'm going to do for both, I just need the time to throw them together for you Paul.

Hey Jeremy !

Thanks very much for the update. Maybe if you have a few ideas for the banner post them all when done - the team could have a look and choose the one they like the best.

Have a safe trip !

Czeszcz Wojtek !

Nice website there The work and drawings there are first class !!

I think I will be building a 7TP and maybe a TKS (not sure), although I am tempted to build a Polish Leopard 2A4 (I have the Aldabertus Crew, some nice real model AM stuff, and Echelon Decals).

A PZL P IIc in 1/48 is on the way so maybe that 'Wingy thing' too Although I haven't built a model Aircraft for a couple of decades

Too many models, not enough time !!

Cheers
