That`s a cool and very usefull link Scott

Thanks for sharing

Any idea when this on is going to be starting?

Grasshopper - Check the last couple of posts on the original thread. I believe the time frame is basically underway. From what I read, based on the early posts the start date has passed and you can begin work. It just isn't 'published' on the Campaign page.

Check that....I believe the start date for the Cold War Campaign isn't until April 13...and runs until June 30th.....unless I missed something and the dates were changed!!!!!

In the same not, for those of you building U.S. armour from the 70s and early 80s check out this website for MERDC camo patterns and colors: http://www.xs4all.nl/~gurth/afv/merdc/index.html

Wow! Ignore a topic for a few days and all of a sudden there are 17 Pages. I'm in. I had hoped to do an M113A1 tow using an Academy kit and the Hobby Fan conversion. It would go nicely with my TUA which should be finished later this decade. I just got the Hobby fan conversion today. However, there does not seem to be an academy M113 kit within SW Ontario. Therefore I am going to do an AFV club M548, which has been sitting on the shelf since it was released. Anyone got any drawings of an M57 minelayer?

Paul,

For a M548 you could slap on the Italeri shelter and do one of the M548 Military Intelligence rigs. It was on the cover of a JoMO that I have laying around and we had one on base in 1988 at Garlstedt, Germany. The actual vehicle in JoMO is on display somewhere in the US.

I suppose a Norwegian NM-142 would fit the bill for the campaign.
