Since I married into the Polish Mafia........ and travel back to the mothercountry every second year , count myself in. Not sure what to build as I have lots from TKS 1,2,3 to 7Tp's and a few, dare I say a wingie thing or two.
Cheers

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
Paul
Now you have done it, Leopard maddness. Had a chance to visit the Polish Leo 2 crews last year and talked about my time in the sandbox with the Leo's. Plus the toasts at the end was nice as well......
.
Thanks for the kind words , I have a few good ideas from small to large to plan out for the campaign. Will be back to see the Leo crews next year and talk "shop" again, oh my liver...............

Check out this thread. It will take you to the discussion on the polish modelers forum, there's a list of the airplanes models, sometimes with short in-boxes, which can be build in the polish markings provided by the producer, all scales and nationalities. I think it may be useful for those who still think what to build in this campaign.

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 !
Paul
Will do

I worked up a quick ribbon idea during some downtime. I have a few other ideas that I may try out as soon as I get a chance

Nice work Jeremy.
How about a ribbon with white top, red lower (like the Polish flag), and a Polish Eagle overlapping both - a bit like the flag we see sometimes ?

Yes very nice Michal.
Perhaps making it less square would be better. Anyone else have some thoughts ?

Something for your consideration

Any ohter ideas or thoughts ?

This is caused by the proportion of dimmensions of the official polish ensign. When you use it you can't change it...
