Amphibs!

Because of some bad timing I couldn't do this campaign's kick-off myself, but Jacques helped me out here - thanks! -

I'm wondering who has already started his driving and swimming model!

I'm going to order some new models soon, including a LVT-4 Buffalo which will be my campaign entry!

What will be your entry?

Good luck with building all,
Martin

Opened the box on a Dragon BTR-80. Now to decide which version to do...decisions, decisions.... :-)
Honestly, I think I will be doing a BTR-80AM, the uparmed/uparmored version.

Ive got all the kit material for my M93A1 FOX (NBCRS) but Im waiting on a few reference books that I ordered a few weeks ago to come in at my LHS. I should get them within a week or so. Then it will be slow progress as school will be starting at the end of the month and I have to put modelling on the backburner of my priorities.

So far for kits I have these compiled:
Revell AG TPz-1 Fuchs A6 ABC(NBC)
Real Models Michelin Wheels for Fuchs
Eduard TPz-1 Fuchs PE
MR Models TPz-1 Fuchs Interior
MR Models TPz-1 Fuchs Exterior Detail
I know some of this isnt M93A1 specific, but im going to be doing a lot of scratching on this one.

Regards
Matt

Ordered my LVT A1 a week ago. Won't be shipped until next week. If any longer I might have to switch to something else.

I've been looking for reference shots for the Weasel..that's about it. I have pulled the kit out a couple of times to look it over and think up ideas how I should display it.

I wanted to get a USMC Battle Bus for this build...but ...I'm sinking money into my kid's future.

Almost done with my BRDM-2. Ran into some gap troubles, nothing a little squadron putty can't fix. Put on the first coat of paint and will apply another tomorrow.

You are already finished? Or can you start building lol

If you're already finished I have to request an Amphibs gallery where you can post your pics!
