Well, since its going to be 1 october tomorrow (atleast by my time ) I thought that i could make another thread as not to overcrowd the old thread.
I have already PM'd Mark Millard for an official thread so from now on, all who participate in this campagin shall post progress here from the 1 of october.
Good luck to all.
Marek

Hi Marek
As I am only occasionally do armour, may I ask if a Sd.Kfz.222 would be allowed .. also the campaing is limited down to 1/35 .. I only build 1/48 so I cannot take part, right?
all the best

No, anything from 1/35 to 1/16 is allowed.
and that sd.kfz would be a very cool build, do it!

Hi Marek
I fear that I do not understand .... 1/35 -1/16 means that everything larger than 1/35 is allowed up to 1/16 .. 1/48 is smaller and does not fall into your sequence!
So again is 1/48 allowed or not?
I am sorry for being so slow
all the best

That must be a typing mistake, right? Normally everything from 1/72 to 1/16 is allowed in the campaigns.
I think you can participate, Steffen. But of course the decision lies with Marek.
Are your Sd.Kfz. going to be placed in a diorama next to a Fi Storch or a crashed aircraft?

Hi Jesper
maybe I am doing a small scene with my Wespe Sd.Kfz. 223 .. most probably DAK. I also have my PAI AB 41 that still needs a companion ... we'll see.
Modelimex has shipped my two Hauler sets (General and Turret) and the BlackDog stowage yesterday .. so I am ready soon
all the best

I am starting my ML-TB today. Should I start a build thread or should I post the progress here?

Ah sorry guys, it was early in the morning and my english isn't that good, so yes, anything from 1/72 to 1/16 is allowed.

Im in with Zvezda's 1/35 BTR-80. My wife bought it for me on her trip to Russia last year, and if I dont build it soon, she's gonna build a model of me and throw me out! LOL Its going to be an OOTB build with nothing too special as I am short on time and funds! I'll be starting this week.
Posted: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 - 03:21 AM UTC
O.k. Marek, many thanks!
I will do ICM Sd.Kfz. 222 with a hauler corrected turret .. Most probably i will not change the body .. which is a bit off. I hope the stowage will obscure some of it.
cheers

I've looking forward to starting my Staghound for months. Going to use Steve Zologa's build as a guide. Though i doubt it will turn out quite as good. Good Luck everyone.

Well as this is my first campaign, and I'm notorious at getting round to getting started on anything, i thought it would be an idea to get started, so.....
I opened the box on the Tamiya ACAV, and made a start.

For this campaign:
A revell BTR-70, a DML Sdkfz. 234/4.
Too many kits on my workbench, looks like a factory production line...

Well I should be over on the indirect Fire Campaign delivering an M44 like I promised but this one was too good to pass up if it helped me finish a 20 year old project.
References particularly on the steering, transmission and suspension is as thin today as it was in the 1980's
1982 effort at the top 2008 bottom.

Now that will be a unique build, Paddy. A very ambitious project, but you seem to have a good starting point already.
I am looking forward to see more on your project.

I can enter this one.
I started my M113A3 and have still a LAV-AD, M1127 Stryker and a M2A2 Bradley.
The M113 shall have to wait because of a wheel that's missing, so I will enter with the others.
