trying to decide on the following:
1 - Panzer IV Ausf.D Afrika Korps
2 - Panzer IV Wirbelwind
3 - Panzer III Ausf. N with winterketten

Will have a think about it tonight and decide which one

I'm in with a Jagdpanther Early - Smart Kit.

Choose this one.

I did some building last weekend, But i have been too lazy to upload the pics and post. After getting rid of my web site, i now need new photo hosting.
Trying photo bucket at the moment
Steps 1 and 2 are done. So far everything is fitting nice.
There are some sprue attachment points that require careful removal though.





Let's see if this works.

I haven't picked mine yet.
Will do this weekend

Crap, noticed 3 pic is a repeat. should be this.

I'm going in with this one:

My progress photos.













I have also finished the rear hull. I will post a photo of that with my next update. There are a few bad parts, so it looks like I am about to have a lot of spares.

Here is the start to my Sd.Kfz 10/5 2cm Flak 38

With the exception of two damaged pieces and one that was missing entirely, she's ready for paint.









Here's the turret. I still need to seal the decals. I should be able to do that an apply a couple of filters, today.


My color settings are off, slightly. Too much blue.

I have to admit, this is the fastest I have build a Dragon kit. No regrets about my shelf queens, as they have simply honed my build skills to a razor's edge(at least with Dragon Pz.IIIs and IVs).

So this is a really lame entry for this campaign, but I have several campaigns going on already, and didn't want to miss out on this campaign. Plus I needed something that was not going to drive me insane without any scratchbuilding, and the only way to do that is start simple and keep it simple. So without further ado:



Besides I don't have a single US vehicle from WWII in my collection yet, if you can believe that.

I will build this….

Hello all! I am almost (but not quite) done with builds for the armored car and big cats campaigns, so instead of finishing those off I am starting a new one! This arrived today and I had to start:

This is the kit I have chosen. Will probably get started today, hopefully!

My recent couple of weeks progress.
I skipped the engine build for now. i moved on to more of the chassis and drive train.
For the most part it falls together, though you do need to pay attention as some parts need to be fed up and underneath frame supports. The instructions do not clarify that on all parts.
There are also some small parts in tight spots that have to be added that drive clumsy fingers batty!

Well, I've gotten quite a bit of work in over the weekend.





Most of the running gear is only dryfit so I can get the track run together. It'll all be removed and painted separately.

hadnt noticed that this one had started... some great work. I am off building the AFV 251 so, until that hits the paint shop, will focus on that .. may then do Bronco or Dragon campaign next .. not sure... but will keep an eye on this one and try to get my Pz III build in before the end

Oh... so many builds are getting ready, I'm late for this one too, I will start it soon, but slowly, I have many Campaigns to work on...

Here my start picture...... In my traditional scale

I like how everyoje seems to have gone for a 'Smart' kit or Premium.

A little advance....

Nice progress, guys. I should have my replacement parts in a week. I'm really looking forward to the paint shop.

Just to confirm, adding snow and/or mud is fair game, right?

All weathering is fair game.

Progress!

All the sub assemblies laid out. I've left off many small detail parts so as to make it easier to get these together.



Close up of the gun assembly. I've tried chipping with a bit of sponge, my first attempt at the technique. Not too bad, though the chips are larger than I'd like.



Fenders joined to center part.



The front plate was glued first, then the assembly above was glued, after the gun was fitted. This whole procedure pretty tricky but I managed it, despite the gap you can see above the firewall. The rear deck fits well and the gap will be filled and painted and probably not visible through the hatches.



Given past experience with dragon kits I was expecting more fit problems than I had. I didn't immediately realize though, that there were three tabs on each side of the hull tub that need removing. They're not mentioned in the instructions.
