I'm a comparably fast builder, so I'm sure I'll find something to fit in this one.

I have an idea ,so I am in.

Since the British didn’t think in terms of “light” and “medium”, it’s a little hard trying to determine if certain British tanks would qualify for this campaign.

As Tom and I discussed, British Cruiser tanks no later than the A13 Mk. IV will be allowed.

According to Wikipedia, the Crusader MK. II is classes as a Cruiser MK VIA, which would be to close to a medium tank.

The Valentine tank is also getting a little close to being a medium tank, I guess I would allow The Valentine MK-I through MK-VII, (those with a 2pd gun).

Thanks for the info John
I will find something else to build for this campaign.

Thanks for the info John, very helpful:
So, this is going to be my choice

Got some PE for it as well and I'm very tempted by some resin goodies from Accurate Armour...but the usual low-tide in the wallet department will probably prevent me from indulging.

I enlisted -I have a dragon PzR I and a panzer II in the stash just have to figure which one to build.

I have several options in my stash,

FV101 Scorpion
M50 Ontos - does the Ontos count ?
M3A1 Honey

Ian

The M50 Ontos is an anti Tank vehicle, so it's not allowed.

I'm interested and have signed up.
Just to play the devil's advocate, to determine what defines a light tank, one might have to keep comparisons to within each individual nation. Certainly cannot be based on gun size. For example, the Chaffee has a 75mm gun, but so does the Sherman. The British 2pdr was brought up as a cut off point, but remember the Matilda was equipped with the same gun, and it definitely wasn't a light tank.
As for Bronco's Cv33, yes that for sure constitutes as a tankette.

Jack

Im in with the german Wiesel tankette.

Kind regards,Sven.

Just signed up.
Maybe a BT 7, T19, T37, M5A1 Stuart, a member of the 7TP Family, Panzer 1 or 2, Vickers Light - lots of choice. Oh which one to make and who knows what santa will bring. Probably make a R35 in the Levant with the new Azimut figures. Just got the figures yesterday and they look quite inspiring. Now for the research followed by

Just a suggestion for anyone who has not picked a tank to do, look on the Martola website for some interesting polish/french/ex-french tanks and tankettes from Mirage and RPM.

Well the kits arrived





Al

hello,
ALAN very good choice, I will follow your installation carefully, as I ordered for Christmas.

I'm in, it's high time I built that lovely Scorpion tank.

I just joined and will be currently in the Panther Campaign as well.

The 2 Japanese tanks I have are the Type 1 75MM self-propelled gun and the Type 97 to choose from, at least from what I can see.

I'm sure either are okay?

I think what defines a light tank is whether the nation that made it considered it a light tank. You can't really go by weight, gun caliber, size, or armor thickness. To other nations, the Type 97 (the type molded by Tamiya) would be considered a light tank but to the Japanese it was considered a Medium tank. There was a Type 97 tankette which is molded by Fine Molds.

Oh wow then, well ... okay. Those are the only two light tanks (double checked) I have so I guess I'll bail.

It was worth a try.

Jeff,

I’m sorry your two kits didn’t qualify. The Type 1 75mm is a self propelled gun, so that kills it right there.

I have been using wikipedia as reference and it confirms what Gary was saying about the type 97. Japan classified it as a medium tank.

There’s still plenty of time, so if you happen to pick up a light tank, feel free to join in.

Oh hey, there's no problem or worries. I'll keep looking for something in the meantime. I've always wanted to build an FT-17 or equivalent so I'll start there.

Thanks for the reply!


~ Jeff

I'm in for this one. I'll probably get a Stuart or something among those lines.

would a panzer II luchs count? i know that the panzer II is a light tank, but the luchs? because this would definately be my choice!

Yeap, It's a light reconnaissance tank

I just signed up and will be building a M3 Stuart. My first British armor build.
