This group build has been discussed at length in the Canada Goup forum. Time to step pup to the plate. As I understand it we need a minimum of 10 entrants to be considered for approval. Here are the parameters:

Any AFV or Soft Skin vehicle in Canadian service from WWII to the present will qualify. (no what ifs).

The proposed start date will be 15 January (or as soon as we can get it approved)

The end date will be Canada Day (01 July for non-hosers)

We propose awarding a ribbon for all contestants based on the CD (Canadian Forces Decoration for 12 years long service and undetected crime)

First, second and third place finishers will get a special recognition based on accuracy and detail.

I am in.... I am not sure what I am going to build for it yet but I am leaning towards either another FIrefly or a Sherman III or maybe even a Para jeep from 1 Can Para. We'll see.
Cheers
Bryan

I'm in too... Not quite sure what yet but it will be Sherman based. Either an Sherman V or a firefly IC or VC...Bryan I'm going to need your help on markings for this one ..lol ... Ready and willing to go!

Rick

I may join in with an M4A2E8 Sherman Does anyone know where I would be able to get any Canadian markings for one?

Thanks for the link Found a sheet for a Canadian Mk 3AY or M4A2E8 there It's the Royal Canadian Dragoons,Camp Petawana,Ontario 1948

Great Choice Chad. the New Dml M4A2 with HVSS added will be the perfect match.

Hi I think it is a great idea and I can't wait to get started

Write it up. Sounds good.

I agree - write it up! I need no more excuse to read up on references and try to do a Canadian Sherman! I'm in too!

Gunnie

You can count me in also!! Not sure which project will be ready...I have that ambulance jeep of the RCAMC on the bench at the moment or the Priest Kangaroo just beside it...or why not take this opportunity to finish that Bison conversion..

I will do the Hobby Fan AVGP Cougar.

I'm in. Either a C1 or TUA.

Paul

count me in!Canadian m-113 early 80's!!!!!!

I am in! I have hmm Cougar, Lynx, C1 conversion, C2 conversion, Firefly, Formations M4A2 conversion, my Canadian Recce Jeep project, all on my shelf. I have some thinking to do.

Leaning towards either my Lynx, or my Recce jeep project since I see Paul is doing a Cougar.

Rob

I am in, no idea what I am going to build though.

Would like to do the C1, but it looks like there will be a few of those already, and I just have to be different...LOL


Will most likely do the Quad Gun Tractor with 25Pd gun and limber. Only other thing I have is the C1, and a Verlinden TUA kit, but we all know how inaccurate that is....LOL

I am in, I am going to do a grizzly I think, 6 months is going to be pushing it for me but with a timeline maybe I can get things done faster. Time to break out the styrene!!!!!

Looks like you've got your 10, Paul. I've got the AFV Club M35A2 to convert to an MLVW 2nd line MRT, which will be working on the pack of an M109. I've also got the Elite Iltis to turn into my boss's ride, c/s 89. Maybe a Coyote, maybe a fitter. Maybe a Leopard C2, if these guys haven't snapped them all up yet.

Just ordered the C2, and picked up the Revell Leo 1A5 kit, so that one's a go too. And the pile gets higher...

Count me in. Either my father's M577 CP from 2nd Bn PPCLI, 1967 Germany, or a 1st Bn PPCLI M113 from Germany circa 1964.

I'm in. We'll seeif the Ram OP sees the light of day in time...

Count me in to Paul. I need to find what I'm going to build. It'll give me an excuse to finish (read start) some models I got on the shelf.

Count me in as well please,I`ll be doing a Canadian
wwII Dodge wc54 Radio truck. This will be fun!

The proposal has been submited for approval today.
