Hi Jeff,

I have this in the stash.


If i can come up with a Panther Ausf.D chassis to build a FlakPanther any time up till about 2 months before End date i will join in the fun. Hopefully Santa will make sure a D. will be under the tree.

Either one will work Gary. Heck, as fast as you build ... start off with the gun assembly and finish off with a flurry with the Panther chassis!

You've got plenty of practise in! Just don't start yet!

I just want to make sure that is clear. I unknowingly and unwittingly piss people off with my immaculate subtlety so I just thought I'd be blunt with that one little detail!

But when you're a racehorse builder like yourself, you could start a week before the end date and still finish!

And most likely ahead of most too.

There are so many good campaigns starting or soon to start. At the present time I will enlist with what I am not too sure. Need to look in the pile.

Welcome aboard Trevor! This is rapidly becoming a popular Campaign that doesn't even start until March of next year.

At 27 enlisted it looks like it will be a good one for sure!

Welcome all new entrants! We have went from 27 up to 31 now!

This should be a pretty interesting Campaign as it's wide open and not restricted to one era or application as long as it can shoot down those wingie things!

Hmmm.... I'm quite committed enough to builds right now ... However .... I could offer a few suggestions for everyone's consideration -- some would require some scratchbuilding,but nothing that the modellers here couldn't handle.

SAM 2 up through SAM 14 (at least)
Redeye team with jeep, trailer and basic load
Stinger team with jeep, trailer and basic load
Stinger and the Afghan resistance
There's a couple of other MANPADS that I'm forgetting (sorry)
Avenger (previously mentioned)
Vulcan on M113 with radar (M163?)
Chaparral missle system (sidewinder on modified 113)
Roland in the Falklands
Nike Ajax
Nike Hercules
Hawk missile system
Bomarc in USAF markings
Bomarc in RCAF markings
ZSU 23-4 (mentioned previousl)
ZSU 57-2 (I think)
M16 half track with quad .50's
Bofors on trailer

Jeff - Number 32! I still have not made up my mind but leaning towards something stationary or mounted on a half-track from World War II (my comfort zone).

Phill - Holy ! Flakzwilling 40, the very best there is! When you absolutely positively gotta shoot down every in the sky, accept no substitute!

Hi Jeff,
where the hell do you get those emoticons?
I have another question, I have some finished figures that I don´t know how to show, so could I add these to a Flak Gun of
some kind in a diorama in here?
@ Phill, 12.8 cm Flakzwilling, that is the balls man. I can´t wait to see that one

Nothing wrong with a budget project, especially for a Campaign!

I think my Sgt. York was under %25.00 shipped.
