Uuuh I think I've got a lot of Allied stuff, especially British, and only 1 German kit....
AFV Club 251/22 PAKwagen
And some half finished models.....Academy Tiger 1 (love that kit), Italeri Puma....not much
Think I'm switching more and more to British/Commonwealth WW2 stuff, followed by US and German stuff.

I'm working on a Pz I Ausf A ambulance model with its own three figures for a diorama which I'm doing for the "medic" campaign. The kit comes from MB (Master Box) and it's good.
Another axis vehicle on my workbench is the BMW motorcycle kit with its figures. I'm making it for the "Spahwagen Abteilung" campaign. The kit is an old one from Zvezda.

Hello Everyone,
I currently have only one kit on the bench. I have the Tamiya Late Tiger I. It is my first attempt at zimmerit, and I must say it has been a bear. I think I know why the Germans lost WWII, all that time to zimmerit. I hope it turns out well, we'll see. Take care all.
Best Wishes,
Walter

Old Tamiya Brummbar which I am using to learn to do homemade zimmerit. I also have some Eduard etch I got on sale for it and I might install a set of tracks if I am happy with it.
That's the only thing on the bench I don't have a lot of space so multiple projects are hard to support. My other on the go is a Modern Canadian Cougar in the paint stages.

Actually on the bench: Tamiya Panzer IV D... has paint & decals, needs a bit more weathering and figures painted
In line for paint shop: Academy Tiger I Early, Tamiya Jagdtiger (probably will experiment with zim on this one); Tamiya Sdfz 251's (one w/ 37mm gun, one D) Tamiya Panther D (paint and zim tester), a Heller Kubelwagen, Tamiya 250/1, Revell Panzer III (72nd scale) and probably a few others that I don't recall for one reason or another...
In the stash, on the short list for building: a bunch of
Dragons, including the Tiger 1 Initial, 251 Flamethrower, Jagdpanther, and Panther A.
Estimated time of completion for the above, at current progress rate: To Eternity and Beyond!

On the bench... just the Tamiya Tiger Early version. I hope to finish it after the Reconaissance campaign.
Posted: Thursday, April 28, 2005 - 03:44 AM UTC
Well, my axis models are quite numerous:
The first one is trictly speeking not armor, but it is armored and definately Axis:
On the slipway:
IJN Yamato: Construction is pretty much complete. Unfortunately the paintshop has not had the time to paint it yet.
In the factory:
Sd.Kfz. 173 Jagdpanther: Part of the Ardennes Offensive campaign. Progress is steady. The wheels have been to the paintshop, and the first are ready to haeve their rubber rims fitted. I hope to have the hull ready to go to go to the paintshop somwehere next week.
Sd.Kfz. 164 Hornisse: Gun has it's first coat of paint an coamouflage. Construction is almost done. It is now mostly work for the paintshop. Tracks are already painted in their base-coat.
Sd.Kfz. 223: The hull has returned from the paintshop. Theturret construction is not finished yet though. Wheels still have to be attached.
Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. D: Work is slow. The construction of the interior is almost complete, and has received its basecoat. Wheelas have been painted and have received their rubber rims.
Sd.Kfz. 124 Wespe: Ortiginally part of the incoming campaign. Interior being painted. Progress is very slow, though some subassemblies have been completed.
Sd.Kfz. 7/2: The construction-crew on this one has gone on strike. Refitting needs to be done, and some of the parts have been destroyed and need to be remanufactured by the subcontractors.
Sd.Kfz. 250/1 Alte: The construction-crew has gone on strike on this one as well.
On the drawingboard:
Marder I: For GB's TD campaign. Reference is on it's way. Research needs to be done (Julian Dace at ML has come to the conclusion that some of the dimensions/shapes are of. So it is a project to correct this. Also, I wait till the Blast-models update set comes out.
Sd.Kfz. 234/1: For the Spaehwagen campaign. Reference is on it's way. AM will have to wait (most likely till June) after the finals.
In the stash: Loads of others (Among them Panther A Late, Pz IV J complete with CMK interior, Sd. Kfz.'s 7/1, 7/2, 250/1, 250/3, 250/9 (all Alte), 251/1 D with Rockets, 11, Tiger 1 Mid with interior.

I promised myself I wouldn't take on another project like the Nichimo M4A1, but I just have to do it. I am 1/2 way done with all the corrections to the Italeri Panther D. The turret is done and I plan on doing an article for Armorama shortly. I have to finish it within the next 3 weeks due to going back to school to finish my degree. Wish me luck.

Items on my bench:
Italeri Pz IV G with etched turret armour, AM barrel and Fruil tracks, semi painted but has been sitting there for two years now
Dragon Panther G Night Version with IR gear, now this was all ready for paint when the now dead clock that was on the wall above my bench fell off and landed on the Panther. Broke 5 suspension arms and lost two wheels when they flew off into the unknown (room also used as a storage room) The clock took a beating for that I can tell you.
Not armour but:
1/144 Eduard Fw-190F-8
1/700 Skywaves Z39 Destroyer
3 x 1/700 Macchi Mc.202
3 x 1/700 Me 262
1/144 Sweet Macchi Mc.200
Ciao

Hmmm,
JagdPanther Late version, ready for paint
Demag, abortive white camo paintjob, waiting for inspiration..
Stug III, from CMK, been stored for, ohh 2years? Needs the PE schuertzen on one side adding to finish it off. Has been used to try some paint technices in the mean time. Not a bad job off home made Zimmerit (if I may say so myself :-) ). Just the PE...... 2 years, the shame..
Just put back on the bench, my resin Azimut Panzerwerfer 42...
And this is just the Axis stuff, there's also a Patton waiting for final touches (like wheels and tracks), a M18 half way done, an M88 which has been started, a DUKW which will be painted next...
So little time...

Okay, I'll reveal my secret stash of unbuilt Axis stuff. Here goes:
Tamiya Tiger Early Prod converted to "100" of sPzAbt 502 (yes, the very subject of the DML Inital Tiger kit). Basecoat on, need to add whitewash and weathering.
Verlinden sFH 18 15cm Howitzer. Basecoat on, need to fix a few more items.
Cromwell Flak 41 88mm. Great and fun build, complex build. about 85% done.
Ironside Marder I. Almost complete rebuild w/new Pak 40, Fruil tracks, scratchbuilt fighting compartment and resin cast wheels. 80% done.
Sovereign SdKfz 247. Lots of correction of very inaccurate kit. Ugly build but 80% done.
Tamiya 3.7cm Flak Mobelwagen. Converting to early prod. variant. Easy and fun. 50% done.
SMA Faun L900 transporter with SdAnh 115 trailer. Huge resin kit. 50% done.
Tamiya Marder III SdKfz 139 Pak 76.2cm (r). Build w/o PE. Fun, about 70% done.
DML Panther A. Initial build. about 30% done.
Ahhh! Gotta get some of these done!
