Hello Huxy,

 Thinking of either a Pz II or PzIII. I'll check references against the PzIII I have in stash. Not sure which PD's were involved with the Invasion of Norway. Hope the PzIII clears, I've been wanting to build an early version of this MBT.

 Huxy, I have the Dragon 1/35 Pz III H. It would have to be back dated to the earlier E or an  F in order to have been included in the invasion. Put me down for the new Tamiya PzII A/B/C, I have a couple of good reference pics of the 4th PD in service during operation "Weserubung".

 MBT= Main Battle Tank

I was planning on doing a waterline ship this year, and I can choose one that will fit on this GB:

1:700 Fujimi/SeaWay Model Deutschland/Lutzow.

The pocket battleship Deutschland saw action in the Spanish Civil war, then got updated and renamed Lutzow, as well as reclassified as a heavy cruiser. Was right behind the Blucher in the Battle of Drobal Sound; same fortress guns who sank Blucher heavily damaged Lutzow, who had to go back for repairs/refit.

The kit (and mold) is old, not much detail but I can dress it up a bit with generic WW2 Kriegsmarine PE ladders and such. Lutzow had a funky camo pattern, but was not applied until after the Norway campaing, so "gray and underway" will be the paint scheme.

I should be able to start in late Spring, once I clear out some other GBs in progress.

Cheers

Hey Huxy,  Was planning on beginning later, after I got a couple of other builds completed, but waiting on parts forced a change in plans. I got the 1/35 Tamiya Pz II. Looks like a nicely molded kit. There are a few knock out marks on the hatches that will have to be cleaned up but overall looks like a snap to put together. Here's a pic of the contents along with some reference material I'll be using.

 Should be a fun build, I like the little PzII. Still looking for a few more details of the PzIIC and the 4th PD during their time in Norway. I'll post a few pics this weekend after I get a little done around the bunker first. Be throwing in a couple of my favorite movies during the build.

Mobious: That looks awsome! Any detailsets coming for it? :)   Can't wait to see the progress shots, not to mention the finished model!

Seacondor: This GB is open for everyone... Welcome back to the hobby! As for your model, I'll gladly sign you up. But as the group builds rule says, it has to be modelled as one used in Norway

Is that kit 1/48 scale? 

So, I'll sign you up right away now.

  Be adding Griffon Models latches, stowage, and maybe changing tracks. I've never used the link and length before. Looking for a Panzer commander in a greatcoat, wearing a... "raspberry beret, the kind you find in a second hand store!"

Jay12472: Thanks.. And no, no decals for the IP, as the kit didn't have any IP at all

Mobious: That's quite somedetails    And thelink and lenght tracks, they work out very well.. Atleast on my older Tamiya 1/48 tanks!

Seacondor: You're on the roster now!

Thanks,
