Hello to all! I've got on the stash both Wespe's Sd.Kfz. 8 an Revell's DB 10, and some figures from CMK, so something will arrive, in time I expect!

Will "what if" subjects be accepted if they are built onto existing platform vehicles?

Oppps! As everybody knows, I must say "Wespe's Sd.Kfz. 8 and Revell's Sd.Kfz 9". Perhaps I'll build the FAMO, as Wespe's offer is a little tricky (Or,maybe both, if I feel mad enough !

Honestly hadn't considered the what if? The only stipulation was the kit must be unstarted. What where you thinking of?

I was thinking about building a rear tow boom crane onto the back of a modified M2 or M3 Halftrack. This would be in response to the Opel Maultier Field Repair Crane vehicle

Is anyone else excited about the prospect of cutting up a Tamiya Leopard kit to make a Netherlands Beach Armored Recovery Vehicle? It looks like a bullet-proof tugboat on tracks. They've even given them names-- Hercules, Samson, Goliath, and Titan.
Cheers!

sounds like some great ideas ! Hopefully everyone will post tons of pics..
I'm really thinking of building the AA Challenger recovery vehicle, found my Osprey book about the Chally builds, and love that kit!
If I was seriously looking to raise the bar..the Trojan ARV....

I got that Tankograd book too, for quite sometime, but still no PE...
I have to finish some Campaigns first, I'm a little behind schedule.

Now I have motivation to finish the M1070 I have on order before June 2012.
Assuming my preorder comes, count me in.
Sean: I also would love to see the Navistar MRAP Wrecker even if it was my first resin kit

John- yeah..that PE set is like gold! I wish I could;ve scored the tires that Voyager had, supposed to be the most accurate! Guess I'll need to stock up on CA glue for all the PE.
Peter- absolutely the right kit for our campaign!!! Never realized so many kits were available for this kind of build. Be sure to enlist!
I'm still on board w/ the Late MAZ 537- hoping an AM engine comes out before we kick off!
