Thought this news report might interest the participants of this campaign. Plastic SdKfz 10 from Switzerland. In 1/48 of course...

Have to support our local manufacturers...

Cheers!

Hey guys looks like I was able to get a start on this, built the cockpit while I was waiting to take my daughter to school this morning

Not many parts so it should be a quick build, need to prime that up now

@Apistolfreak, nice job on your gauges, mine won't look like that

How can you guys be starting already when I haven'y even decided what to build yet................keep up the good work...

Jason

I agree with Jason, folks are racing off the starting line and I also have to finalize my model. I am stuck between a sherman, a sherman and another sherman! Decisions, decisions....

(Really the Tam. M4, the Tam. Firefly, or the HB M4A1 76(w)) I am currently leaning towards the M4A1, but I may have a decisive moment this weekend! A rare occurrence indeed!

Thanks,

-Stephen (Minas-Ithil)

May I suggest a Sherman?

Hi all,

i saw good choices here.
Here is mine, the Eduard Avia 534:




I just began to paint the interior but no available photo.

Cheers

Ok my T-33 has more decals, markings for 5 different birds, then parts did some work this morning and taped the fuselage halves together and wing on so I could prime the top

I then assembled the bombs and landing gear so I should get more done before the end of the weekend

Well I hope I am doing this right. I made the decision to build my Accurate Minitures B-25 "Dirty Dora". I have bunches of aftermarket and have pictured them here, I will pick and choose what to use out them though because there is duplication and I have no interest in some. My supplier sent me these keeping me in my resin and photoetch fix. As my experience has been the Verlinden stuff is okay at best, all of the control surfaces appear to be undersized. The Aires resin looks beautiful, but since I have never used set of theirs that fit I am not sure how much I will use. I also see not reason to the Scale Aircraft Conversions metal gear as the detail is soft and in 30 years of modeling and three cross country moves I have only broken 2-3 landing gear. The one other reason I need to avoid trying to use all this stuff is that I build really Sssslllooooooooowwww. Too much stuff will bring me to a halt. That said here is my kit and accessories and I am looking forward to seeing all the progress shots everyone is posting!

We're off to a 'Flying' start


I started my base - the tank is just to get an idea - I'm building a new one OOB

Greg, very cool resin sewer. Who made that and where did you get it from?

It is an old Jaguar model and I got it from Greatmodels.com a few years ago for around $25. I've seen them around still on the web. Here's a Bandai T-34 from the Track48 gallery where the guy expanded the width of his for the scene. Mine will be smaller

Thats cool, I think I will look for one and see if I can get one cheap or for a trade. Only way I will build a Russian tank.

Cool idea Greg - remember when you a posing the figures that the gunner has to let the target get a safe distance away, or he will be hit with frag from his own projectile - but you probably knew that already.

Love the Air Apache Walt - hope you will build an AFV too :-)

Off to ValleyCon, will try to post the startof my Jumbo soon,

Konrad

Of course Konrad he would wait to pull the trigger in order to survive the war You did get me wondering if they make a magnetic sticky bomb in 1/48...hmmm

Hey Konrad, isn't the Air Apache an AFV (Artillery Flying Vehicle)? :-) I doubt time will permit, but if I do I have time I have a couple of vehicles in mind.

Frosting on. Sanding when dry. I'm going to use magic sculpt on the top and match the stones with scratch work.

This is my entry

Greg: great start on the sewer. Looking forward to see that one come together.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Greg..Is it to late to get in?I haven't built 1/48 before,and don't know what I would build,but would like to give it a run.Thanks,Jeff Tucker

Jeff - It's never too late, so join in. If you have questions about any kits you're considering just shout them out here and someone will know the answer.




@Tomislav - great choice and I'm a big fan of the Legend gear though it's a little tough to cut apart.


Zon - Good to be in another campaign with you

update on stug

Well Gents my choice of subject arrived today, the very nice Tamiya JagdTiger, will post some pics later in the week, hope to get it started very, very soon.....

Jason

tracks finished

Greg: good to be in on this one.

Jeff: welcome aboard. I think you'll find 1/48th very pleasing.

Tomislav: you are really moving on you Stug. Looking good.

I've decided to build a Jadgtiger, although a Dust Walker might find it's way in here as well...

Happy Modelling, -zon

Hi all,

I have just enlisted.

I will start the project with my GMC truck:



GMC CCKW 353 TAMIYA with ABER pe set.

Where could I start my own topic from the workshop ???

Best,
M.
