Not much choice there!!
Out of your selection, personally I would go for Italian, Belgian or Norwegian, also Dachs or Biber. Also personally, I am very glad you are considering joning us.

Sorry no. We're all itching to start but the Campaign Manager hasn't been in touch despite emails to him to ask about progress. Someone told me it can two weeks or more! We're half way there:-)

Thanks! I'll then continue scratching my itching fingers with the Scud kit I'm building for the 500+ campaign
I hope this gets through soon and gets a close start date.

2 Bob Wiber ‘bwiber’ - 1A4/A4 or 1A2?
Michael,
Doing some research for photos on the proposed builds and found a set for a build I had started years ago, right after I got your 3 volume set on the Leopard 1. If it isn't to far along I thought I would like to see if I can complete it for this campaign.
The kit used is the old Tamiya one, I know, but it was the one I had on hand at the time. However, with all the changes needed to be made to create the BARV I don't think it is to bad of a choice.
This is the state of the kit at this time....
The side grates are filled with superglue and sanded smooth...
Probably need a week to figure out what all the scribbles mean on the hull, etc. I never remember what I was thinking, sometimes I am not to sure I was.
I do remember that the air ducting was a lot of fun.... in a odd sort of way.
Anyway, I am guessing that this isn't more than 20-25% completed, so should fit within the proposed 50%+/-
Later,
Bob

Bob - you have to finish this whether you enter this or not!! If you do decide to enter it, it will be very welcome. Something completely different:-)
You can always enter more than one model. I just made up that rule!!

But only if he shares measurements & plans, so I can build one too! Beautiful work, Bob - can't wait to see it in full glory.

Gee guys...... no pressure here is there?
I would love to share the drawings, but there aren't really anything that you would call drawings. I did a lot of measuring points on photos and setting up proportional dividers to do the measurements so that I could layout the parts. However, I need to go through the paper stack that is in the box to see how much of that remains. Will share anything I have....

Hi guys
I have now moved this Campaign to the Campaigns Forum - which is probably where it should have been in the first place!
This is the new link: http://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/240842&page=1
Please can you all join this thread from now on? I have listed everyone who has shown interest so I hope that the Armorama Campaign Manager might take more notice of our interest.
