It sounds splendid. If only someone could come up with a way to exclude Tigers...

Sorry about that Tuomas i must have got the rules confused i only became a member last month( though to be perfectly honest i haven't really built the King Tiger into any sub components by started i meant i test fitted an Eduard zimmerit set to the kit parts as it was a set designed for the Tamiya variant so i wanted to see if it was adaptable to the Dragon kit) how about if i entered the campaign with AFV's Pak 44 88mm field gun ? also for the campaign does the build have to be 100% accurate or are OOB builds aloud

Lyndon, OOB builds are ok, as well as accurate, no problem.
And yes, Tuomas is correct on the building timings...

Howdy Y'all
I'd like to join, just enlisted. I picked up a 1/35 DML Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn at a club swap meet this weekend. It doesn't look like a great kit but it didn't cost much. Some quick research indicates this wasn't a very good kit. Oh well, I'll build straight from the box and see what happens.
Y'all take care now!

Oh I'm in for a fun time. I picked up a 1/76 Flak36 and SdKfz7 from airfix, along with the recon set of a 222 and a kubelwagen.
I'll do the Flak and SdKfz for this campaign and the 222 and kubel for the desert campaign.
And end up with a little dio.
No upgrades other than what I can make outta card and wire. Should be a learning experience but a cheap one

Any ideas for good refs for the flak and SdKfz7?

Hi John,
The kit I'm going to build is the Dragon '39-'45 Series, Kit No. 6001 Nashorn. There's nothing premium about this kit. The individual track links look scary. If anyone has built this kit, please let me know. I could use any advice and I'm wodering what after-market barrell I should use. Can't wait to start. Our club, Albuquerque Scale Modelers is having a Panzer Mk. IV and Varients contest so I'll kill two birds with one stone.
Y'all take care now!
