I need the motivation to build at least 1 of the many "Paper Panzers" in the storage bunker, count me in!

Regards,

Larry

I think with the size limites that is the best we can do. I am open to any other suggestions.

I am planning to enter with a Trumpeteer E-25. It could be cool to make some really late war schemes or maybe some "what if" schemes.

As I understand the rules this one would fit the campaign regulations - right? Could you please confirm this, Scott?

If Trumpeter E-25 reaches here with a reasonable price (that's under 30 Euros, as Dragon's are sold for that over here) I will be inclined to buy it and join in.

Otherwise, a friend of mine "liberated" the last Dragon Maus at the local hobbystore after the "Battle of the Cash Register", unless I make a covert attempt to steal it back I don't have any suitable kits

That would fit 100% with this capaign. Actually that kit is what gave me the ideal for this campign. Kubleilitz, flak pather, bear, all the paper panzers would be fine. Also if any one wants to biuld on a V-3 would be great. I would have to check on the PAnther II as I am not sure how many were built on this one. You allied modelrs are not left out either.

Cannot wait to get started

I think I will give the Geschutzwagen 1.7 cm thingy a go.

It might be interesting to take this a step further and do what would have been future modifications. A KT with a 20 mm anti-aircraft gun for instance.

As far as I know there was only a very small number of Panther II's built, one is certain but beyond that I'm not sure.

I like that. What will it look like when it is shrunk down to the right size?

Panther II has only been built as a carbon steel hull, and was found at the end of the war with test-weights. No turret has ever been designed completetly for the Panther-II.

Anyway, who will tackle the P-1500 Monster in 1:35?

Congrats on getting this one through Scott!
I've got something planned, without wanting to say too much: its a German conversion of a captured Russian AFV, as I beleive it only 10 were converted, would this count? Also i'm planning on using the hull of a tank I already built, stripping it back to a bare shell, then doing the 'field conversion' myself, is this allowed or does it have to be a completely new build?
This way I figure its more like the real thing!

Let me know what you think anyway, i'll get your approval before I join up!

I think it is sitting in the Patton Museum.

I'm gonna tackle this one if it comes out in time. Right now it's only up for pre-orders. Great Campaign idea!

Scott, sorry man...I obviously was "daft" when I read your post the first time. This is actually a bit of artwork for the kit I'm going to build for the campaign...Russian A40....however, I'll shrink it down and see if you like it for an idea of the ribbon.

Okay guys,

I'm definitely in on this one and I've decided I won't build the Raketenwerfer but rather the recently released Aufklärungspanzer 38(t) Sd.Kfz. 141/1 75 mm of which only two were produced back in 1944 (so I'm assuming it qualifies for this campaign).

Note: This is not the well known Aufklärungspanzer 38(t) with the 20 mm gun that was produced in larger numbers. This is the one with a 75 mm gun of which only 2 were ever built (Source: Achtung Panzer!).
