I just want to gauge the number of builders joining in on this Group Build, and try to drum up more support. This build was started back in July but somehow got lost under the overwhelming number of threads that get posted here. Anyway, it will continue on until the end of February 2004.
The rules have been previously stated by TankCarl and SS-74 and are located below.

TIME: 1 July till the end of the year.If you want something and can't get it soon,no worries.

THEME: Tank Destroyers. Purpose built , kill one type of target , vehicles.

ERA: If it was called a tank Destroyer then it is suitable. (Creativity points for pre WWII vehicles)

SECTIONS: Wheeled,Towed Gun,1/2 track,Full track. (Soviet anti tank dogs are a nyet-nyet)

SUBLOTS: As SS said:
"Da Real McCoy"
88mm carried TD (elefant, hornisse, etc), 17 pounders (archers, etc), 90mm, or such big gun TD, SU-122, SU-85, etc

"Da Wannabes"
Hetzers, Marders, etc, etc

"Da Door Knockers"
them halftrack mounted with a 37 mm, etc, etc,

"Da 'Are you Kidding me?' "
either the real crazy 128mm jagdtiger, or the real small TK with 20mm guns...

PARTICIPANTS: It's a Group Build - anyone and everyone is invited - including Aircraft modelers! Whip out those A-10 Warthogs!

If you have any questions, please post them in this thread. We'll start new threads as we all begin to make progress and desire to show what we have so far. :-)

i think i'd like to try this out. i have a hornisse on hold. i'll break that out and enter with it. sounds like fun! i'd like to use my marder IIIM but its a wannabe

I'm in with a StuG III Ausf F8 I have it built and painted Also got the track links done Just gotta weather,put decals and finish the figures for it #:-) (++)

I'm in - just haven't decided a subject yet...

Gunnie

I am in with my Jagdtiger, Porsche Ferdinand, Ferdinand Jagdtiger, it's a "Are you Kidding me"

and if time allows, also a Pz IV L/70.

are u starting it now so when are the new dates and im goin to build a m 18 hellcat but i got to buy it first

im in, one question,
are we allowed multiple entries?
ive got an achilles on the go at the moment, but im spying a few others and this would be the perfect excuse to buy loads of new kits!
as if i dont have enough waiting on the shelf already! hehe
cheers
joe

Skytrainboy, the dates are Start: now, Finish: Feb. 28 2004.




Absolutely! The more the merrier.

I'm still deciding on which kit(s) to do. I may even wait for the M36 to be released.

I need to finish the painting of my Borgward IV B !
Then, my fingers are itching to start an Elefant... or maybe a sdkfz251/22...

So dumb question. But is 88 MM allowed? artillery piece. LOL.
think I am in end of Feb great idea (:-) (:-) (:-) (++) (++)

Well it did have wheels!!

Count me in also. Don't know what it will be yet, Ferdinand, Nashorn, SU122, or maybe a Marder lll H.

does he have to be a dio/vignette? or can it just be displayed?

I'm in. Almost finished 'Old Faithful' and have just received Italeri's RSO with Pak 40. Now that was put together to solely Kill Tanks, no mg at all. :-)

Maybe there will be time to do Trumpeter's Type 89 TD (Presently the only 'modern' TD).

'By the Power of Grey.......' Oops wrong movie.

Well i'm in anyway!

TD mk1 for Bush use only. Fire and forget (about the donkey anyway!)

Count me in...a great excuse to do some OOB... I've got the Academy Achilles sitting there and my fingers are itching to start it.. As ive recently bought a digi-camera its a wonderful excuse to try my hand at a build 'diary'....Jim

I'm in .I've alrady started scratchbuilding my Fiat AR59 with 106mm recoiless gun...
Ciao

You bet! The 88mm was one of the most feared and effective TD pieces.

I agree with Ken, actually the 88 mm is defined as the Real McCoy in this GB.

I started my Stug4 on the 2nd of july half way through it,is it a T.D. :-)

Yes! I think it was actually built as an assault gun, but it certainly was a capable TD.

I am in doing the Dragon Porsche Suspensioned Jagd Tiger.A what are you kidding me type.
As for display,dio or pictures are fine.This is a GROUP Build,basically,build and show off. (++) (++) 49 (++)

Would an M7 priest count as a tank destroyer. I recently started one and have it on the shelf. If it counts....Im in!

Unfortunately, no. it was built and used as Self-Propelled Artillery. Sorry.

Hey, can I join I started this SU-85M after expressing interest in the group build. I just figured the build had been forgotten. I am close to finishing it.

Happy Modeling

Great! Count me in, it seems like a superb idea to include all the other Tank Destroyer applications! Can't wait to suit my AH-64D in TD clothing so I can..................wait, oops.
My bad.


Tread.

How do join a GB? Do you just post pictures when it's over? I would like to do an Italeri Hetzer that will be "refurbished." Someone gave me a built kit that was really bad, and want to do it over.
