Hi everyone!

I was wondering how many people would be interested in a half-track campaign, say starting around September 2008. All scales, all eras, half-tracks only. What do you think?

If it generates enough audience I will submit it.

Opinions will be appreciated.

Emre,

I'm game. Gives me another reason to shell out the bucks for the new Kfz 7.

I would be very interested too!! But given certain circumstances, I must be cautions as to jump in.
For me it would be a definite maybe!!

It's good to see there's some interest, but so far we are only 4.

No one else interested?

A Great Idea, I've got AFV , Dragon and Italeri Halftracks in my stash. Hope there is enough interest in this. I'm looking forward to building them.

you know, I have not built a half track in like 15 years...

It's about time I did I guess.

I do have 2 in the stash.

A campaign would be good to encourage me to break one of them open.

Wow, nice, we are 8 now Maybe I should also ask around in the AFV forum. Thanks for the responses!

People, what time frame would be good for you? I am thinking after summer, or maybe starting in summer, the earliest good date would be August for me. What do you say?

Taylor, it would be good as long as it is sitting on a halftrack, like the M-16 or a german halftrack with an AA gun (they have many ranging from Maultiers with flaks to Sdkfz 7 with flak). The halftracks were used for various purposes, so there should be a great variety of vehicles.

I have also mentioned this campaign idea in the AFV forums, let's see if it generates interest.

Remember, I am waiting for your feedback for the possible campaign time frame.

Hi guys,

September or August is perfect. I got a M2A1 in my stash and by that time I should have finished my Abrams.
Can't wait to start

Thank you for your swift replies and support, I really appreciate it.

Let's call the beginning date August, if the campaign is approved then. I am submitting right away.

Count me in. I have a Dragon Drilling I want to start. August/September would be great. I have a campaign starting in June already. Thanks for getting this started.

I might be interested. I have a couple that need to get out of the stash and on to the build table.

However....

Not to rain on the parade but didn't we just have one last year?

OK, AUG/Sept sounds good for me . Now , what to build ? I have two 251/1's, a 250/5, an Opel Maultier, a SDkfz 11 and a Demag 7. By Aug I'll probably have a few more. Well, 6 months to think about it. Keep On Modeling !

Milvehfan,

Are your 251/1's Hanomag's by any chance? I ask because I'm not sure how soon the new kfz 7's are going to be released and I found a Hanomag for 18 bucks the other day and was going to pick it later this week.
