OK!
I'm in with that Dragon / CyberHobby "Aufklarungspanzer 38(t) mit 7.5cm KwK" kit 6310.
But I have a few months and a myriad of 38(t) kits to choose from!

So, I'm going to build Tamiya's Marder III M for this campaign. I've got some Eduard etch, a Blast update , and a set of Fruils tracks to use with it.

Welcome Ryan !
What's in the Blast update ?
I'm in with this one:

There's a RB machine gun & gun barrel too.
I still have a bunch of stuff to do before starting it..

Yeah, yeah...laugh all you want, but underneath that Black Knight it's still just a DML Hetzer
I'll be using the LZ wheels and Friuls for this one...ummm, and different markings for sure. Maybe a bit of Aber PE too. Be getting started soon

Nice choice James !
Jens, what version are you picking ? I've looked at the various options and I can't decide..
Besides the metal gun barrel & MG I won't add any AM.

John,
I haven't made a choice either. The only thing that is for sure.. it's going to be panzer grey. Need to look up the colour profiles I have collected...

Going with the 1/35 Academy Hetzer.


I'm not sure how I'll finish it, but this video is tempting.

Hi, John.
I somehow missed this campaign when you set it up.
Is it still possible to join?
One of my favorite subjects, and I have a perfect kit in the stash.
If it's too late to join, I understand.

The tracks are individual links with plastic pins...the only good thing about the tracks is, it comes with a jig to assemble them.
Yes it comes with a monsterous metal barrel

Hey John, here are some pics of the tracks and pins



I imagine you can cut the gate and pin off in one piece and make it easier on yourself, hope this helps
