Hi Jason

Don't worry - there's still plenty of time to join in. The official kickoff is Sept 1st, but you can start whenever you like.

Looking forward to seeing whatever you enter - they sound great projects.

All the best

Rowan

does an arado 234 nightfighter count? i ask because the kit info says a couple were built and tested but not used operationally

Hey Merlin, a question similar to almonkey's, could I build a two-seater Me 262 night fighter or Arado 240?

Just askin'!

Alright, I'm in. I'll be building an M8 Buford AGS.

Hi Phil and Ollie

Yep... I reckon the Ar 234C, Ar 240 & Me 262B should all count... basically anything that didn't get further than a test batch is ok.

With this in mind, well-known aircraft and armour with experimental armaments or camouflage are fine.

Have fun!

Rowan

Hi, Rowan! I could've sworn I replied to this thread, but can't find my rambling answer anywhere...
At any rate, I'm in and you know my project. I HOPE you remember my project as you are a quite critical component to getting it as accurate as possible! Thanks for the help!

Oh, BTW- my 2nd boy appears to be poised to make his grand entrance into the world at any time, so if you get no reply to messages in the near future it because I'm doin' the Happy Pappy!

I thought I replied as well but do not see my post listed here. I am building the Attack PzKpfw 38t with resin Schwimmkorper conversion. also added to this mix is the ExtraTech PE for the 38t and an Armo barrel.

As usual, this is a 1/72 scale kit and will represent an amphibious vehicle that may have been developed to participate in the German invasion of England called Operation Sealion. If you are not familiar with a Schwimmkorper, think Duplex Drive Sherman for a light tank.

Here is the link to my journal: Schwimmkorper.

Guys,

You indeed did respond, but not to this thread! There was another one and you responded there: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/31109&page=1

AHHH... now I see! Thanks Pawel!
(Man-how do you do it? All of your reviews, incredible kit builds, assistant editor, etc.- now you're ghost editing someone else's campaign? When do you sleep?)

Pawel sleep...!? Never! Vodnik has Spidey power!

Robert - it sounds like cigars are due all round! Congratulations!

Cheers everyone

Rowan

However hard to believe it might be, I'm in my bed right now and I'm going to sleep as soon as I finish this post BTW, it's half past midnight in Poland.

Pawel

Woo-hoo!!!

I believe I'll build a "Grant" Tank, as it might have looked if used by the U.S.A.

I'm not sure whether this would qualify for this campaign... I don't know much about WW2 armor, but wasn't Grant just a British version of American M3 Lee tank? Why would Americans use Grant if they had their original Lee tanks?...

In this campaign we will build models of vehicles which EXISTED in prototype or project form IN REALITY, but never entered full production. This is not "what if" campaign. If it was never designed in the real world, then it cannot be entered to this campaign. On the other hand if the tank (like Grant) entered mass production, it also cannot be accepted for Project-X campaign, even in "what if" colors and markings.

Pawel

Would a porsche prototype for the Tiger 1 qualify?

Still don't know exactly what to build.
I'm down to two candidates....
Planet 1/72nd Fw TL Entwurf lll...resin
or
Special Hobby 1/72nd Heinkel He P1078A...injection.

If I get the time...lol...I may try and do both.

Cheers
Peter

If it really existed or was at least designed on paper, but never entered full scale production, then sure, it does qualify!

Pawel

Hi guys !

I knew it wouldn't take long before I'd hop in and take a quick peek. And behold : Armorama's alive and kicking without me, too !
No time for modeling anywhere near this decade if I have to keep working like this, but this might be a nice x-project for anyone who likes to try his hands at scratchbuilding !


In fact, the vehicle IS scratchbuilding, based on a normal bummer. Sadly, I only found this picture with Major Bummer sitting on the hood. I might have one without junior somewhere if anyone should need it.

That was in scorching Backton, California. Shortly after, I saw the Kill Bill movie - aaaaahhh - to discover that Backton was the exact place where the leading lady was burried alive...

Seems like a nice and easy little project to base on a hummer kit. One day, fellas, one day....

This is not even REbuilding : it looks like there's an intact and unchanged hummer sitting underneath. This looks like some sort of improved cardboard add-on. I'm sure there are experts in the house with hands-on experience on Opfor modding.

Paul Truhe also posted this picture of a hardtop version :





Have fun !

Hi Jan,

Good to see you here again!

I'm afraid your idea does not qualify for Project-X - those BRDM look-alikes are in active use at NTC and quite a few Humvees were modified this way, so I'm afraid they cannot be considered prototypes.

Pawel

Okay, guess I'll have to think of something else.

I want to participate with the IDF Merkava ARV "NAMER".

Hi KoSprueOne

You'll have to forgive my ignorance - I'm a propellerhead - is the "Namer" a prototype / test batch vehicle?

I'll let the armour experts make the call on this one.

All the best

Rowan

Yes, currently.

"...The new vehicle [Merkava ARV] is currently at a concept phase, it is undergoing operational field testing with the first Merkava Mk4 unit. ..."

I just signed up for this campaign, but I should have posted my question first......

I have two IHP 1/700 scale ships kits, the battlecruiser Lexington, and the battleship South Dakota, both are kits based on designs that were canceled by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. Since these are designs that would have been built, but never got built (the Lexington and Saratoga hulls were finished as carriers) I assume they qualify for this campaign.

This will be my first kit since I got activated for reserve duty over a year ago.
