For the most part 'A'. However, the model must have insignia to the camo pattern and type of armor. No Japanese armor with European Theater markings. The kit must represent a vehicle from WW2. Any figures must be the correct crew for the kit. Just common sense really.

Ok, this is it, I have earlier signed up for a couple other campaigns in the hope of 1) having less to do at work 2) buying a house with a office/hobbyroom. This has unfortunately been postponed and postponed.....but NOW I am there. Bought a house in November (moving in two weeks) and tomorrow 2 new people are starting at work to take over about 75% of my regular assignments.

SO it is with joy in my heart and skipping like a little girl that I sign up with the Dragon Sd.Kfz.265 kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen wich I picked up at a closing sale at 50%.



Will place it in the summer of 1940 in Norway, have picked up some Bison decals for p.z.v. 40 which was part of the German invasion force.

This will be build of many firsts;
- first kit in 19 years
- first airbrushed kit
- first weathered kit
- first kit with aftermarket products
- AND hopefully first ever diorama, will use it as a piece in my first experemental dioarama (just love the Internet, I finaly have a place to get tips and ideas!)

Can't wait!

Thanks for the clarification. I'll have that old Tamiya "Jagdpanther, late Version" with some add-on stuff in my stash. Sounds like a good chance to dig it out and build it. Guess that means a visit to Koblenz and taking pictures of Ute.

I will go for a Dragon Pz. IV. The old version without the magic links, so a lot of cleaning up to do.....

More to follow later.

This is the kit I will be doing. I have bought a new aluminium barrel for it and a metal antenna. I will try to make a very late H version as Dragon includes a lot of the parts in the box anyway.

I am now half way through cutting and cleaning up the track links. Phew!

You can count me in.... doing two old 1:35 Tamiya Pz IV Ds with some PE, one in grey/grau for this Campaign, one in north africa colors for the "Workhorse" Campaign. Gives me a chance to improve my meager armor techniques. Cheers.

I am going to do 1/35 Dragon #6460 Stu.Pz. IV 'Brummbaer'. The start, however, will be delayed a bit, as some things are waiting to be finished first

I don't kown yet, what i'm going to do. I have so many alternatives (all my kit collection are axis tanks ) but I think will be a Panther or a Tiger (I or II? )

A question: Where we must post the kit build?

Sorry for my very bad english. I'll try to go on with it.

Please post a picture of the kit before assembly and one once finished. Add as many as you like for the build up. There is a link to the gallery at the bottom of page 1.

Hi,

Have opted for the following:

Dragon 1/72 WW2 Tiger I Late Production with Zimmerit, Dragon No.7203, will decide on the turret number when it arrives in the post. So it'll either be one from the stock decals, a Bison or a Techmod addition.

Awaiting delivery by the postman after ordering via Ebay, before being able to begin.

Matan - I can already see the difference in details between the old Tamiya Pz IV D and your Dragon Pz IV D. I subscribed to your WIP blog to learn and see if I can add anything to my old Tamiya's cheers

You will need to apply in the 'Campaign' section. There should be a yellow 'enlistment' bar at the top of the screen. Let me know if you have any problems.

If anyone has a Tiger kit they would be willing to part with, let me know. I am wanting to build a 1/35 to complete my Axis armor collection. Thanks, Matt N.
