I got my prize from the Historicus Forma contest which was this, sponsored by Adalbertus. This will be one of my entries for this campaign.

Hi,

I have just enlisted.
I will try to build BMP-2 in polish markings (depends, whether I get correct decals)

That will be very interesting Michal !

Of course the ammunition for that AT rifle was top secret at the outbreak of the September Campaign.

Marek Czeszcz ! Welcome to the Campaign

The BMP will be very interesting ! Maybe you can build Andrzej's (the angry NCO) machine

Cheers

We have 18 enlisted now

I think there are some more Polish Modellers lurking that need to joiin

So many choices to make here, and so many opportunities...

I received my 7TP PE and ARMO Barrel in the mail today, as well as a 1/48 PZL.37 Łoś with PE and a PZL 11c with PE and additional decals. Jadar Models posted it very quickly and at a good price

And more 1st Polish Armored

19 starters now

Any more ideas team ?

I'm interested in making my 7TP a September Campaign machine - however in overall Polish Olive Green.

Any ideas on whether these REALLY did exist in that color in September 1939 ???

Kit instructions say YES, ................. references say ???

Paul, I'm open to ideas. I will let you know up front that I am just starting the hobby so I need something that is accurate and relatively easy to assemble. 1/48 would be ideal, but I also like 1/35.

Hey Jeremy,

What do you like to Model ?

WWII, Modern, Cold War, Pre WWII.

Well you could do a Sherman / Firefly, a Leopard 2A4, a T-55, T-72M, BMP, or even an FT-17 from the 1920 Polish Bolshevik War.

These are just a few.

Nice kits, well Tasca for the Sherman III or Firefly VC, HobbyBoss for the 2A4, Tamiiya for the T-55A or T-72. These are all great kits !!

Cheers

Paul

Everything, if it's a machine then I'm interested

I have the Firefly VC, Sherman III, and T-55A and would look forward to building any one of them.

I love Leopards, if the HobbyBoss 2A4 doesn't require any major corrections then I would probably be happy with it. I was under the impression that the Tamiya T-72 had accuracy issues, but maybe I am mistaken?

From memory the Firefly and T-55A kits have Polish Markings. You would need to get AM markings for the 2A4 (Which is the same as a Bundeswehr machine - needs a little bit of work - see the threads on this site).

Alright, I'll check out the Bundeswehr machine and return with my decision so you know what I'll be building.

Ok Jeremy

I've been thinking about my build for this Campaign and would love to also do the RPM FT-17 in 1/35 (ie: as well as the 7TP). I have the FT-17 in my stash as well as the Aber PE and the FruilModel tracks

The FT-17 is a cool little tank - If I do it, it'll be a Polish machine from 1920 (Polish / Bolshevik War)

Any tips on crew figures that would suit ?

Cheers and keep posting !

Paul

BTW: there is plenty of room for more enlistees

Paul: If I can find the Perfect Scale Modellbau upgrade set for the Hobbyboss Leopard 2A4, plus barrel/tracks/decals as needed, then I will go with that build. Any help in locating parts would be appreciated.

If I can't find that upgrade set and decals, then I will go with the Tamiya T-55A or Tasca Firefly.

Regarding the FT-17, are you thinking about having the two man crew inside the tank? If so then I think that you would be able to get away with modifying any figures that loosely resembled the Polish crew as they would have appeared in 1920.

Thanks for the update Jeremy
