Paul, do you know if that Castoff conversion is still available and if so where are the vendors? I am going to steer clear of the Accurate Armour Conversion and had entertained the idea of scratchbuilding what I needed to update the kit to a MK 9 Chieftain. I looked up that Castoff set and it looked pretty good. Just curious.


Regards, Ian

Ian,
Is this what you are after?

Cheers Rob.

Yeah Rob... That's it. Thanks. I must have missed it when I was looking them up. I might have to order that. A lot cheaper than the Accurate Armour conversion.

Best wishes, Ian

HI guys! Looks like this one is started!
I'm aleready enjoying the tread
Got to work on the t-72 now...update later.

Phil.

Hi Phillipe,

I am about to think about starting my T-55 Good luck with your 72.

Paul

I love those t-55! Can`t wait to see yours!
Happy modelling Paul.

Hi Ian,
see you´ve gotten the link to Castoff so that´s sorted.
Send a PM to LifeGuardtrooper alias Terry Beale from Castoff. You never know, if you tell him your doing the build for this campaign and there´s a second conversion in here too, you might get a deal out of it. He also posted that he would to get some pics of the built up stuff for his web site:

Happy modelling all

I just stumbled across this campaign. Great! It gives me an excuse to crack the box on my T-64. I'm in!

I'm still going with the 1/35 Trumpeter Swedish Strv-103B. I'll probably build it staright out of the box. Starter picture below. I didn't see anything about it needing to be dated.

Here is what I will be building.

Cheers Rob.

Well,
I will make this, a T-55 in braile scale



I use the Rob post to date the model....



Its a simple kit, I don´t know if possible to make as iraqui enigma.....?

Paul, thanks for the information regarding the Castoff resin. Might see if I can get some Chiefie parts shipped across the pond. Once again, thanks.


Best wishes, ian

Rob and Jose, nice kits!
Here is some pics of my progres so far..I've been a busy bee, must be the ultra crappy weather outside...8 inches of slush with freezing rain Seriously...

Well here is my project. Legends M48A1 that I will build into one stationed at the Fulda Gap during the early 60’s. I’ll be using Tamiya’s M48 lower hull and suspension, track parts, and Barrel Depot metal barrel. It’s a pretty sweet kit and looks like it should go together really well. Depending on my time and how well this kit builds up, I also have a Centurion MK.V I’m looking at building.

christopher: Very interesting proyect.....

Here is a link to the campaign gallery for posting pictures of your finished build.

Well I’ve started some of my build last night, started on the lower hull and suspension. I did run into a slight problem with legends conversion kit. The rear lower hull plate had shrunk some and did not fit at all. Very easy fix, just cut the part in half and spliced a plastic spacer in between. Also here is my inspiration for my project. Found some great pictures of the M48A1 station in Germany with some interesting markings.

I'm doing this project as a farewell to the Skif kit. I will add bits and pieces left from other projects.

Here’s my start photo. I am going to do a Tamyia Leopard with “Armour Bits” Australian Leopard AS 1 update set.

Great start guys !
Some really great kits so far !!
Legend, Skif,Tamyia,Academy,Trumpeter... this Campaign is gonna become a classic here at Armorama !!


I'm waiting for some postman news to get mine started...

My entry for the campaign:-

Tamiya T-55a with scratch built wading rail, fuel lines etc.

Replacement metal barrel, Eduard grills and masks, some plasticard, and various guages of wire for the fuel lines!!



Paul

Here is an update




Done some tow cables



And tiny cable clamps



Progres is going slow...Some fighting with the ca but, at least, it goes forward
Thanks for watching.

Phil.

Hi Phil, waht do you mean with ca
Cables or cat
I only do cables when my cat is out of the room otherwise they become instant toys for her to run off with
and hide or loose Annoying at first but the chewed up remnats sometimes look quite good
I´ll join in soon, gotta get the Photo 2 and Proxy campaigns out of the way first
Paul

Paul, I think "ca" means super glue. Which super glue and a cat is bad news as well.

Anyway, I cracked open the S-Tank last night. I wanted to get a little build time in on it. I basically just got the suspension arms on and opened some holes on the upper hull. I will take pictures as I go and post as a get a decent sized batch done.
