Robert

Does M4A3 Sherman count? Also has "3" as designation

that's sound nice
but you've forgotten merkava III for Israel

@ Marcin: I would say no since the M4A3 does not start with a 3 it starts with a 4.

@ Matan: Yes on the Merkava, it has tthe roman numeral III as its designation.

Robert

Magach 3 is also not on there

When are you thinking of running the campaign?

James, it would be next year (2010) and the Magach 3 will be added.

I will probably sign up for it since it is next year.

Tony

Marcin, Matan, James, Tony I will submit the campaign once there is enough interest, then the dates and rules are nailed down.




Robert

Did a tad bit of rresearch and I think I will build a Merkava III or M3 Bradley.

Hello Tony:
Nope, no research just up late and bored. While I was in wikipedia the no. 3 just hit me like a light bulb going on. Why not a campaign with the number 3 at the beginning of the items designation. Like I said I had nothing better to do the day before my 3rd dental visit at the VA to extract teeth for dentures. Anyway all I could come up with for the name was (Everything 3) which is not that catchy, maybe some one has a better idea for the name.

Robert

"Third Time's The Charm" ?

Gary, not bad, not bad.

Robert

I thought that I would post some pictures of various afv's just to entice some. The description precedes the picture.

MB3 Tamoyo (Brazil)

ZT3 (France)

AMR 35 (France)

AMR 33 (France)

Toldi III (Hungary)

Fiat L3 (Italy)

Fiat 3000 (Italy)

K30 Biho (South Korea)

Pbv 301 (Sweden)

Pbv 302 (Sweden0


Robert

How about Sherman III? It was British designation for M4A2 but when finish the model in British/Commonweath markings you have Sherman III*

*I just have few Shermans in my stash but you're the boss here

I guess we could add Sherman III.






Robert

I have given the rules and time frame some thought:

Feb. to Sept. 2010

Scale: any
Time period: any
Model: must have the number 3 as the leading number in its designation (as on the list above)

Robert

Hi Robert,

Is this thing still going ahead?
Cheers,
OFaolain

Hello Glen,
At the moment (7) including myself have expressed interest in the campaign, we need (3) more to submit to the staff. Also there are many campaigns at the moment and everyone is tied up until mid to late 2010. If (3) more show interest then the date will be decided on and the rules written out.

Robert

Hi Robert,

Count me in mate, with a Panhard M3 APC in Irish service!
Cheers,
Glen

Polish 2nd Armored Sherman III in Italy for me

Tasca kit, Hussar decals, and a nice crew with Hornet heads

Hello Robert
