Matt, my vote would be the Academy Achilles. Never seen one built!

Well I changed my mind on the Stug III. I'm now going to try my hand at a battleship. Revell's 1/700 Bismarck. Will post up ths spure shots tomorrow.

John

No problem on the image help. The IMG tag needs to be in, as it's part of the code this forum uses, but if you paste the text from your gallery, you don't need to add the [IMG] button at the bottom of the reply page when you're typing a post.

I forgot to put down the M109A6 as exempt for this campaign. That's for the upcoming artillery campaign (Art of the Battlefield). As I got it second hand, it didn't have any tracks so I have the AFV club M108/M109 indy links for the kit. Really looking forward to building it later this year. If you have a second choice I'd love to hear it.

Great starts Guys, it looks like we are going to have a really good mix of kits being built for this campaign? It should be a good few months I think.

Hi Guys, great to see guys getting started right away here. I plan on going with my 1st Trumpeter build for this 1, Pz.KpfW IV Fahrgestell in 1/35
Photobucket
It has 5 sheets of PE right in the box so I dont think there will be any reason to add to it
Photobucket only problem is I am a little backed up with the campaigns right now so I most likely wont be able to start on this beauty until I go on vacation next month

Sal, that's a great kit, I have the same kit.
I won't start that for a while, looking at all the campaigns I'm in... anyway I will follow tour build carefully.
My 221 build is a little behind too...

Yeah guys this kit looks really good, I really can't wait to get stated on it but I have to clear the bench a bit I'm building this 1 here to go with the Morser Karl Gerat
http://www.scalehobbyist.com/manufacturers/Trumpeter_Models/Military_Vehicles/TRP00000215/product.php?s=0&t=2,4&man=trp
that I will build for the Artillery Campaign in October

That's going to be a huge build... it calls for a diorama with a loading crew Sal !!
Anyway it looks a great kit that Panzer IV, but I'm with you on that clearing the bench issue..
I will take it slowly, between other builds, drying time, take the batteries out of the TV remote helps too, moving the workbench near the fridge, all these little things help...

I've decided to build a Revell 1/72 M1 A2 Abrams that's been sitting in the pile for a few years. Why the sudden interest in it now?... a fellow modeller has a hankering after some spare track that will be left over from the build. Who's the modeller in question?... Sudzonic. Hey, cool recruitment move Scott!

So here are the obligatory 'before' shots:

Here is my kit for this campaign - the new RPM 1917 Ford Model T Ambulance in 1/48. I am building the French version.

The kit is so new, there are no AM parts yet, so this will be a good OOB build.
