Sal;

IF you did the CyberHobby kit of the 70(A), you were actually doing the CH re-box of a quite elderly Dragon kit! The new Dragon kits (2 of these) are much different cats to skin... almost night and day to that old CH thing!

Well Sal, I understand you.. I had to drop a few Campaigns but I couldn't drop the ones I proposed..
You have very good choices there, I like the Kugelblitz look but those old Dragon kits have some tracks.

I'd go the Stug IV leaving the H or G for an Eastern front future Campaign maybe...

I'm leaving my A to H versions for a BuildLog...

Here is my entry:



Due to a work schedule that Hades himself must have conjured, I haven't had time to do much in the past couple of years. I think a nice simple Tamiya kit will do me well to get back in the swing of things. As always, constructive comments are welcomed!

Nice choice, Matt. I see you are a fan of Tamiya paints as well as their kits Looking forward to see more.

I have just signed up. I could not resist. I have tons of Mk. IV kits, it is just to decide which one to build.

Jesper,

I have a few of their paints left over from a few years ago. I'm pretty much a convert to Vallejo Model Color/Model Air lines now. The paint rack behind the kit has seven rows, bottom two rows are my "oldies" I guess you'd call them.

The evening update:

Even though this is a 15 year old boxing of a 20 year old kit, it still fits together quite nicely. Most of the first four steps are complete. The lower hull only has the return rollers glued into place; the drive sprockets, idlers and road wheels are just on for the picture.







Once this one is in the books I have something that I might break out for a little more of a challenge...

Thanks, John. Glad to be back

Matt, you and me both! I also have a pretty old stock of Tamiya paint which I still use from time to time.

I am mostly using Vallejo as well. Especially their new base coat and color in one spray series is nice. Their dunkelgelb is way to greenish for my taste though.
