I would be very interested to join the campaign with the Italeri Staghound Mk 1 in Greek markings. Is the Staghound ok for the campaign?

That's a great kit Gary !!!
The interior for German Armoured cars was Ivory and not matt white like most instructions sets, don't know about the Puma's Dragon colour sheet.

Sure Jimmy ! Welcome !!
I'm sure you'll find something in your stash !!

LOL ..hair i am thinking i was in a campaign about AFV's and such and everybody is talking about hair . .. glad i still have the choice to get it cut
Took alook today at the machine i am building for this campaign ..Trumpeter BMP3 with add on armour and i was surprised at the fact its got a heap of inner detail ..i had forgotten all about that
Can't wait now to start building it ..should turn out pretty good

At one point I almost switched to one of the BTR's. With a camo applied these wheeled vehicles look awesome!

BUT, the T19 it still is.

And I am not getting a hair cut either.

Jeff why not 2 builds ?
I might go for a Stryker and a small 223.

Phill can you post some pics of the sprues and paint instructions of your BMP3, I'm looking for that version for some time, but since I have a SKIP upgraded version, I'm not sure about the Trumpeter version.

Thanks guys !!

I'm itching to start building...

Oooohh ... I may have too many 2 build Campaigns going already.

Besides, I'll concentrate on the T19 and watch you guys, the Masters show us all how it's done.

Have they released a slat armor for the Stryker? I am not too much up-to-date on modern stuff but would love to build an MGS with that supplemental armor.

I want to eventually have a whole section of modern vehicles on a shelf that I built.

EEEE-gads! You're right!

I want to do some PE like that but maybe I'll just settle for the T62.

I think it's AFV club that makes a kit with slat armor. Not quite sure though. If I get one I might go for a winter camo scheme, I'm sick of desert tan and green. And what's a Stryker without any support infantry? I gotta find a few modern GI's as well. All my money is going to end up funding all these campaigns! Not that there's anything wrong with that

Slat isn't cheap for the Strykers.. I think Voyager has some for the T-62.
HobbyBoss has a Canadian Leopard with slat included in the kit.

I have 2 Strykers from Afv & 8 from Trumpeter, not one with Slat Armour.
It's too expensive for my wallet and those PE skills are out of my league...

All this talk of Strykers and slats has made me consider doing this for the campaign.

YIKES!! Four sheets of PE?

You're seeing what 13 sheets of PE is doing to Phill (WARDUKWNZ) right? He isn't around here as much as he used to be.

That's what PE will do to you. You were warned and you're my hero!

Rob: I say go for it, should be a gem once it's built. As for me I'm going to stay away from all that PE now, I have no patience for all that. I've always wanted to look into a WW3 diorama, maybe I can throw together something interesting...

On second thought ...

What could I build that a T19 could have shot up or taken out?

Thanks for all the encouragement guys!

Jeff, that's not 4 sheets there are actually 13 sheets and the ones for the slats are large.

This is the front runner now, I think it will look good on my M1070/M1000.

Cheers Rob.
