Thanks everyone for the kind words, it was a work of mind over matter. If I did not mind the kit having its own attitude, then it did not matter what words were thrown at it. Well at least it was not as hard as the FT 17 that was on my work table last year.

@Tojo72:
Nice Puma, I really like the effect on your muffler area and the dusty tires. Could you share your process for obtaining these.
@Marcin:
Your Dingo is amazing, what weathering process are you using?

Thank you Robert,
for the tires just dusting with mig pigments,and fixing with their thinner for washes.
the muffler, textured it a little with tamiya surfacer,and mottled it up a little,painted it with testors rust,and drybrushed with testors gunmetal for the metallic look,finally a little mig black smoke and soot pigment just dusted on,i'm glad you liked it,I tought it came out good also.

Hi all,
haven't got too much time for building anything but I'm still in with a Polish Skot 2A, a big and ugly 8 wheeler. I've only opened the box so far hence no pictures to share yet.
It's all resin and PE and just the suspension looks a nightmare to assemble ! I hope I'll be time on target.

ATTENTION ALL ATTENDERS OF THE CAMPAIGN!
I'll be drafted in the Turkish Army for my mandatory military service as of December 1, 2009. As a result, I won't have access to internet for the last two months of the campaign. I would like to turn over my campaign leadership to anyone who is interested.
Sorry for not being attentive to campaign topic, my life is hectic with my military service coming up and a construction in my house, plus a million other things.
Please PM me if you would like to take over.

Thanks Tony,
Since our Army relies on conscription, your job depends upon the need. I'm qualified to be an officer (university graduates and up are reserve officer recruits), but whether I'll serve as an infantry for short term (six months) or reserve officer for long term (one year) all depends on luck.

Todd, great progress, especially on the suspension. I still have the occasional nightmare about when I did mine.


@Emre Please take care and thanks for all your effort on previous campaigns.
Cheers,
Jan

I will be taking over the campaign for now. I might need someone to take over me as I now have new duties as the Campaign Manager.
There is now a photo gallery for this campaign.

Here's a try at a campaign ribbon. Red is probably not the right color for the background.
