Hello Friends,
Nearing the finish line! We've thus far had a great campaign with some great kameraderie and some especially excellent builds.

Once you've completed your build, you can upload a photo of your completed to the Gallery: https://gallery.kitmaker.net/showgallery.php/cat/30968

Operation Crusader saw the mighty Eighth Army relieve the siege of Tobruk. The battle of Gazala saw the Desert Fox and Panzerarmee Afrika in victory culminating with the fall of Tobruk.

Operation Crusader began on 18 November 1941.

The Gazala battles finished on 21 June 1942.

Gaz

Sounds interesting. I've been meaning to do some British subjects and this seems like a good opportunity.

I really need to get myself some new shelf space..

Great idea Gary we havent had an Africa themed campaign in a while. Here is a scene I built for a campaign a while back

Dont know if I have anything in the stash but count me in

Gaz, if a beute Crusader is acceptable then I'm in. Cheers, Tat

Gaz,
Now that the dust has settled from the Tank Hunters campaign, count me in for this one!

Stephen

I am all in over this one!!

This is a great idea. I have been planning a DAK PZ II for a while. Count me in.

I would be interested in this. I'm in a few other builds and would like to finish those first, but time permitting this sounds like a fun build to join.

I have an Italeri Crusader III that would like to enlist in this campaign. Count me in.

Fantastic!
It's great ro see eight guys express interest in just over a few hours. For me, I've been hankering to see some desert schemes as well as use recently learned techniques on desert camo.

Gaz

Tat,
Beute it up! As the pics illustrate, both sides made use of captured gear.

Gaz

That's great Gaz. A captured Matilda may be an option as well. Better start reading on this desert conflict

Count me in.

Hi Guys, count me in with an Italian M13/40 medium tank. That will be somewhat off the beaten path.

Alright, in short order that's ten enthusiastic people...eleven if you count me. I'll get to work on the proposal.

Gaz

Good morning, gentlemen,
It's twelve with me
Cheers,
Zsolt

Hi Gaz

Can I join in with a Pz IV F2??

Hi Raj,
Yes, Rommel is said to have a few Pz IVF2 at Gazala. Pz IIIJ and Grant were there, too.

Gaz

Count me in.
Going to buy the Bronco StuG III Ausf D version for this one, as I really enjoyed building the G version for the Tankbusters campaign.
Andy

Excellent, recent reading has shown me that 3 StuG a and 2 StuG were around in this period.

Gaz

I had a look last night and I have Vulcan Models Vickers Light Tank VIB

A very precise paint job needed there,Linus, looking forward to it!!!

Linus,
That's a cool looking little machine, there. Looking forward to it. I've seen very few pics of it.

Gaz

Hello there

Count me in too please. Got a couple of options..... Pz III, Sdkfz 222..


Cheers

Sean

Sean,
We'll be glad to have you. This campaign will have lots of options. And lots of opportunities for dust!

Gaz
