I'm going to buy a paper just for this campaign. I'm in with Dragon's SdKfz. 164 Hornisse in 1/35. I may do a Hummel as well, just because the is a super detail kit available for it.

John, the Wespe is an excellent choice, it's a lovely little kit, built a couple of them myself down the years, look forward to watching your progress.

Thanks Jason.
I was planning also to get an Interior from CMK, but I was afraid to mess it up, too many small parts on such a crowded interior and also I didn't work with resin interiors so far..
The PE set from Aber is enough to show the details I hope.
Did it present any problems with that kit ?

I wish it was 8.00am Saturday morning so I could get started on the Dora. Diorama is done as far as I can before building the rail trackbed and mounting it. Pictures on my profile or in the Diorama section under the title "Not done this before" or

My entry is on the opposite side of the scale (Italeri 1/35 75mm leIG18) but I have been itching to get to work on it too (which is actually rare for me).

Hi folks,

Joined up today. I have several pieces of artillery to build but the starting point for the campaign will be the Bronco 17pdr, assuming AT guns are OK?



I've already started on a crew an ammo build for the gun as part of a review build but that shouldn't be a problem as the gun itself is still in the box.

Looking forward to this one.

Cheers

Too lazy to buy a paper but online version will do? Here's my start pictures.

Hi folks,

Going to be some serious artillery built in this one. OK opened the box.

Instructions





Parts













You also get a tree of crates and ammo



I'm a bit ahead of the game here as I had the separate ammo set and crew already underway for a review blog.

Progress so far on those:



Cheers

Hi Sal,

Thanks. That is a pretty monster kit you have there. I'm looking forward to the build, it's a major piece of kit that's for sure and will be seriously impressive when built.

Cheers
