I have the dragon PzIIIE started. I say started, its only got the lower hull and tracks done so far and with working shifts and a young child its taken nearly 2 weeks to get that far.
Ive added the fruil sprockets and have the fruil tracks ready to paint but the Lionroar fenders/mud guards look daunting especially because Ive not done the before.
Any tips anyone?
I just hope I can get more done to hopefully add to this campaign. never done one of those either. Am I biting off more than I can chew???

Ok Bruce, no problem.
It will probably take me ages to get the kit completed anyway, well after the campaign has finished. What with my work/child/gym schedule Im struggling as it is
Pressure off!!
I will certainly try to get some photos of the build on here as and when I get the time. Ive taken a couple already but only of the built lower hull and tracks. Im hoping to get some more done tomorrow, fingers crossed.

I have an Italeri Panzer 1 that I have planned on building since the idea for the campaign first came up.
I built the Italeri/Testors kit back when I was in high school. That was only 20 plus years ago!! I enjoyed building it back then so I am looking forward to building the little tank again.

Hi Matt and Bruce
I'm looking forward to this getting started, unfortunately I still don't know what I'll be building
I'll post up as soon as I find something suitable, the Char B may still be an option.

hello Joe,
the Somua S-35 is o.k. for this campaign. it was built from 1936 to 1940,so it is in the time line.

Hello Bruce,
Im not sure if it will be a stand alone or not yet. I do have a Verlinden cobbled road section that may come in useful with an added grass verge of some description.
The PzIIIE will be May 1940, Invasion of France and the Low Countries. Not sure which Division yet but quite possibly 10th Pz Div. 7th Pz Regt. I have the Fruil tracks, Lionroar fenders, Fruil sprockets and the Dragon early war tank crew so it should be quite a challenge for me. But hey, if you don't challenge yourself, you don't improve!!
