Could be interested depending on the time frame of the campaign. I have not taken part in a campaign for quite a while and this one could be a good reason to participate again.

I'll bite, I have a couple of Miniart Tirans in my stash. Would be a good opportunity to work on them.

Possibly. I'm not a fan of the Israeli attitude to their neighbours (no political discussion to follow, so please don't reply), but I am intrigued by their Sherman "target" tanks as a build subject, so might be willing.

One more version Peter: Nem
It is in Hungarian, of course.
I might consider to participate with one of my 10-12 kits in stash, depending on the timeframe. There is another campaign for me (40 yrs Leo 2) which I will participate and if this one will finish much later, than I am in.
