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.
