Sal,
Great minds think alike sir!!! I am tossing up between that & the dragon marder IIIm smart kit, although once I try building it may not be such a smart kit lol
The Marder II is leading the race in my head & heart at the moment
I am looking at these campaigns as a tool to make me finish in less time than the war took lol

Hey Mike ,, well you can use one kit for two campaigns but it all depends on the campaign and if its allowed in the rules .
Its also up to the campaign leader too .
Never hurts to ask mate .

Looks nice and intense but I think there will come a time when these model manufacturers will offer an option ... with or without PE.
Lots of money to be made on it!

It's a little more than I was guessing but still, it's like a model kit all itself!
Ordered and paid for the le.FH18/40/2(sf) auf G.W.Pz.Kpfw.III/IV
At least now I don't have to buy PE for the interior. That's what led me to finding this kit, looking for PE for the fighting interior for one of the Marders I was going to get and then POOF!!! I found this and had to have it.
The wife just rolled her eyes.
What else can she do?~ Jeff

Hey there Zon! Yeah, it's interesting alright but I mainly got it for the fighting compartment. Looks fairly detailed around inside, that and the breach too.
Never seen the tank before so it'll be new territory for me.

Well, I've gone for something a bit more simpler. I'll be building this Hetzer. Looks like a nice little kit and they give you the camouflage mask as well. But, best of all they sell it here for only $17. Try finding a new release these days at that price.

Well Phill, buddy. I would have encouraging words for ya if this was for one of our tank Campaigns, but for a TRUCK? Man, you're either going to go blind or become so unbearable 'round here!
Either way you'll be too busy to type so I'll see ya 'round later.
They say the mind is a terrible thing to waste.
(and here I thought I was nutz with my Campaigns)
