Was just talking about it couple days ago with some guys in the chat, what you think about a TD groupie, doesn't have to be a campaign, just bunch guys do something similar and have fun.

Just any kind TD can do. What ya think?

Iam in dave I'll do academys M-18 hellcat

I like TD's.. I just put my Academy M-10 GMC on my workbench..... so far I have sanded 1 road wheel...... just so I can say i have started it.



Anytway's I have no idea when I'll finish it as I'll be in the barbarossa campain and I prob will join in on the halftrack build after that. so i'll be working on it off and on.

I'll do it,German ones count.Like a hunting tiger,or such... (++) (++)

What's required of us? I love TDs!

I'm in for a collective build discussion of any type TD.

Naturally, I need very little excuse to build a Tank Destroyer - I'd be in too!

Gunnie

I'lls see if I can some money................but I might..........if have that dinero I so desperatley need..........

Yes, I'd love to do a tank destroyer build. I do have several TD kits that need to be built:
DML Sd.Kfz. 184 Elefant
AFV Club M-10 Wolverine
AFV Club Wiesel with TOW
Academy M-18 Hellcat
Academy M-36 Jackson (real old kit)
Academy M151A1 with 105mm Recoilless Rifle
Tamiya M-36 Jackson (same old kit as above)
Tamiya M151A2 with TOW
Tamiya Hunting Tiger
Trumpeter BJ212A Jeep with 105mm Recoilless Rifle
Italeri M-36B1 Jackson (on that M4A3 chassis)
Revell M-56 Scorpion (SPAT) (1/40th scale)
Esci LAV-AT
Esci HMMWV Tank Hunter
Academy M966
Italeri M1036
Skybow M38A1C with 106mm Recoilless Rifle
AER ASU-57
Alan Sd.Kfz. 122 Marder II D
AMT/Ertl Hogan's Heroes Jeep with 106mm Recoilless Rifle (1/24 scale)

Anyone know if my Tamiya SU-85 or new StuG III are tank destroyers or assault guns? This category is wide open. I may even finish up my old Renwal/Revell M-50 Ontos for this build.

That could be fun... when would it be ?
All I have in the model stack right now that would correspond is a tamiya TOW Mutt...
So maybe it would give me a good reason to go and by another kit... Oh no !!!

Hey Rob, is there a TD that you don't have?!! Wow, nice collection. I'm jealous.

Don't be, at least you build better than me! I do not have a Hetzer or a StuG IV. My only Jagdpanther is the motorized 1/25 scale Academy one I built back in Germany in the late 80s. I missed listing my Esci 1/72 scale M901 ITV. I would like to do one of those in 1/35 scale since I have on of the last of them that aren't acting as reefs on the ocean floor.

Wow thanks for the interest, I don't know, I don't want this to get in the way of the major campaigns, so if medals or ribbons are not a big thing for ya, I like just make it a groupie, friends build similar subjects. I think the rules should be pretty loose, just any TD will do, span from WW II to maybe modern....what you guys think?

ooohhh, Hetzer. :-)


Andrew

I'm in. I've got an Academy M-18 that I'm building in honor of the household hell cat

To keep it out of the Campaign scheduling and delay excitement - why not just call it "The Great Armorama Tank Destroyer Group Build" and just do it! Now you know I'm kidding about the title - but Group Builds just happen. Set a date, mabye some guidelines for people to follow along with, and announce it.

Gunnie

Agree with the Gunnie. Let's do it.

Heck, I don't know Gunnie... TGATDGB kinda has a nice ring to it... In any case group build or campaign I'm on board. It seems to be the only way I get anything finished.

Shaun

Yep! I think that is one huge thing that separates Armorama from other sites. Guys & Gals build models here - more modeling than talking about it.

TGATDGB - kinda sounds like something a drunk Klingon might utter...

Gunnie

I'll jump in. Maybe an M10 or a Hetzer will come out of this corner.

Adam--where you been?? I need to discuss building a Tamiya KV1C. I am looking for advise on paint color.
thanks
DJ

email me offline DJ: [email protected] and i can answer your questions.

Well, if it is later in the year ( somwhere around November or even later) it is okay with me...

I have the Jagdpanther late by Tamiya at home now.. I would like to build it with interior... anyone have any experience with the Jaguar interior kit ? So for that kit I would have to order the interior, PE and new tracks. Anyone know if the early late models came with Zimmerit ?

Also, I have first to learn to work with PE and an airbrush (have a few kits partially built and planned a few test-sheets for that), and at least one, possibly two halftracks to build for campaigns. And somehow my part-time job, possibly two studies and American Football training have to fit in... and ofcoursethe money needs to be available...

Hi all,

I'd love to have a good excuse to crack open a TD box and start ANOTHER kit. I'm in with a group build if that's OK.

If the deadline won't be too tough I was planning to scratchbuild a FIAT AR 59 with a recoiless 106mm gun...
Ciao
