Since there was a topic on what shermans people are working on,its only fair to see what us Axis builders are working on I have 2 kits on the go.
- Tamiya Tiger early wittmanns S04
- Tamiya Tiger late wittmanns 205
I have painted the base coat on the early Tiger but not yet ready to try and do a winter camo, so ill finish the late one first.After i have built both kits then its on to wittmanns Tiger 222 .
cheers and happy modeling

Er.....DML Panther A Late, DML 251/6 Command, Famo & trailer, Hummel, sturmtiger, Hornisse Marder IIIM, Wespe, Dukw, bren carrier (ok, ok, the last 2 are allied).

Vinnie

I had faith in you vinnie :-) Dukw, bren carrier
What are you putting on your famo+trailer?

I'm a closet Axis modeler...

I have a DML Panther A, AFV Club's Tiger I ausf E (Late) and DML's Tiger I (Initial Production 3-in-1) kits on the workbench. For me that's a huge amount of Axis subjects...

Gunnie

Jim's come out! Where is that 'NEWS' form again?

Vinnie

Hi, Bits and pieces of 4 right now:

Dragon's 3-in-1 Tiger I Initial kit.

AFV's Tiger I Late.

Dragon's Flame halftrack.

Dragon's 1/72 Maus, which is the current one that is anywhere near finished, and most likely will be before the other three, by a long shot.

A couple good things about the smaller stuff is that I can usually get one done in about a week or week and a half, thus I see some progress from start to finish in a rather quick manner. And what with the new Dragon smaller stuff so darn nice, they are rather addicting to do as well. Have built their little Jagdpather, Jagdtiger, and Sturmtiger here in the last couple of weeks or so and am well satisified with all of them. Bet you can't build just one. Ha!

Good luck to you in completely all those projects that seem to litter the workbench of all modelers it would seem.

Take care, Sgirty

Tristar pz 1 that I am thinking about converting to the flak version
PzIII L I am backdating to an early G
251/22
and Dragons very nice jagdpanzer IV
Regards,
Robert

oh yeah I also have an M5 but don't tell anyone

Vinnie, with the speed in which you build, you should be through that list in two weeks.

I have a couple of 251's a pak 40, Ostwind, neblewherfer(sp?) panther......

I have a Whirbelwind still in the shrink wrap

Just about fininshing up my 1/30 Panther G. Looks like some Russian armor on deck.

I have a Tamiya Panther and a Tamiya 221 A/C in the works. They are both great models. I am going to make the 221 a desert version and the Panther I am not sure about.

The only Axis stuff in progress now is a little CMK Skoda 35(t) that keeps getting pushed aside for other projects but it's 95% there and just needs decals and finishing; an Italeri BMW with sidecar that seems too small and fiddly to even worry about; there's an Academy IDF M51 that's caught up to about the same 95% state and I'd love to get the tanks out of the way for the TD campaign. I have an old Italeri Elefant lined up for that.

Depends on what you mean by "on the bench" he he...literally on the bench I have:

Tamiya's King Tiger Ardennes Front
Dragon's Panther II
Dragon's E100

I'm only really actively working on the King Tiger and the E100.

Would you beleive a scratch built (in progress) Hitler Bovine?

I have a Tamiya Wespe on the work bench. I started this model many moons ago for the long since completed "Incoming" campaign. I have vowed to complete this kit before I move on to another subject. The bleepin' military has been keeping me so dang busy, I haven't had much time to model lately. Hopefully that will change soon.

In this picture, it had some paint applied. I noticed some seams still showing and I did some sanding. Also in this picture, I was test fitting some fruil track. I hope to update the progress on this next week.



A lot of my kits are Axis subjects. Axis vehicles are just much more interesting.

Here is my stash.



I also have two Tamiya Dragon Wagons, two Tamiya FAMO's, a 1/32nd scale Academy F/A-18C "American Bug" and a Tamiya 1/48th F-117 Stealth Fighter.

In actual rotation and making progress...

E100 with DML IR gear nearly done, just need to finish weathering.
DML Jadgtiger Henchell early construction stages


Been started, but not in current rotation,
Loads of 251D's and Panthers as well
Some 250's and a Marder IIIM, assorted flak projects, tons of DML figures..

It's not a hobby, it's a mental illness...

Mike

Tamiya Panzer III with the CMK Bergepanzer conversion kit and Verlinden Interior kit.

I'm not telling. It is going to be a suprise. Spending way too much time on a diorama with a whole smack load of Germans.

Shaun

Dioramas count, don't they....

i have a lot.

But my next project, which will start on May 1, will be a 1/35th scale Dragon Nashorn. It will be a special model since this will be the first time that I will add AM products:

1) Verlinden Nashorn Update Set for the interior (courtesy of Blade48mrd)

2) CMK Aluminum Barrel and resin breech (courtesy of Defcon1, a Filipino friend)

3) I'll try to make a scratchbuild driver's side interior.

The model will be my entry for the Tank Destroyer campaign.

Angela

Vinnie,

Are these all reviews we can expect soon?? has the cat just been let out the bag??

:-) :-) :-)

Rudi

Yikes!
Naw...just things that need someting doing to them to finish them. Hoping to post pics when they are finished though!
Vinnie

Awww, was looking forward to some more of those fantastic reviews...

Can't wait to see the pics!

At the moment i have two DML initial Tigers at the painting stage, and a DML Panther 2, with the AA turret, awaiting final painting/weathering. I am also working on a Warrior MRV for a competition at ML

Regards from the Swamp

I have a kubelwagen which my cat broke and its now destined to be a wreck in a dio with my sherman and daimler scoutcar. I had the picture in my head of a kubel taking a wrong turn and finding itsdelf face to face with a sherman ploughs through a shop window taking out a motorbike in the process. Why? well I saw a real nice dispatch rider figure but cant think of any british motorbike kits so under the kubel will be bits of some other bike poking out.
No plans at the moment for any other axis kits tho.
