Panzerjager GB (March 1st - June 30th, 2011)

Eric, I had used the Testors (pink) for the majority of the tracks.  The track on the right side is completly on the suspension like it is supose to be and I used Testors for the whole track.  The left track was done about half and half with the glues because of the track being thrown.  The part on the suspension was glued with Testors and the part of track that is off the suspension was glued with ZAP "Plasti-Zap" medium CA glue (the orange bottle).

Hey guys. Please go to the armor forum and vote for the next GB. It's neck and neck with France and the Bulge.

Did you use the Testors pink bottle glue for the tracks?

Not sure if they were suppose to be or not was to long ago.  I do know that I had just fitted the links togther and glued them.

Rob, are those workable tracks?

BOB - Looks like Andy came through again, those would be your decals.  Not much for markings or color on early German armor.

TM - YES!  Those tracks are TINY!  They were the only part of the kit that required special attention / patients, at times were tough to get togther but they DO work.

ANDY - I say YES you can vote 5 times, as long as you vote the same as me.

GOING TO THE POLLS

I can't hear you guys... sorry!  LOL  Being deaf has many benefits... trust me! 

I casted my vote.  Can't wait to see how it goes... Thank you Eric for doing this!  Great little joke with the red fist thing... it sure made me laugh...

 

Can't say with conviction on the voting, but I have a feeling where it might tilt too.

I need to give Manny his fist back before he realizes it's missing. LOL

Eric-dunno if it's too late to throw another GB theme into the mix, but it is the 70th anniversary of Barbarossa....a lot of Panzer gray.....just a thought....

 

Why not. I'll poll the masses in the armor forum.

I probably wouldn't want to start any earlier then mid-Sept. myself. After Labor Day weekend for sure. Might give me enough time to finish my other build too.

I was looking at that Bronco kit and my eyes exploded looking at those teeny tracks. A couple of other minute pieces. Maybe a nice Tamiya 232 instead.

 

Oh come on Eric you , you can do it !

 

You must have missed my comment on VERY small tracks.

Bob- Anytime!  I think it would be cool if you can build a StuG so my Frenchy tank will be able to surrender to you without ever firing its gun...

Guess we will have to wait few weeks until we find out about the final decision.

Andy-you are 'da Man'!

Thanks.  Still not sure what I would build if the Western option is chosen, but it's always good to have options.

Bob- Good news... found decal set for StuG A or B during the Invasion of France from Archer.  Only $4.50 and of course Eric can order it for you.

Hope this helps...

Bob- You are correct... I have spare decals from my recent build Tamiya StuG III B and unforuntately they all were for the Eastern Front.  I would have sent you if I had one... what about those aftermarket decals from Archer or Echron?

Andy-I did a quick search-nothing jumped out at me as being a fit.  Also, I looked at the instructions on

http://www.1999.co.jp/search_e.asp?Typ1_c=101&scope=0&scope2=0&itkey=stug+1%2F35

and there aren't any good matches in the kits.

Not a big deal-I have other good options if the Western Front is the GB chosen in the voting....of course, we're assuming that this is a democracy....Eric could make a mandate.....

Rob, you mentioned the StuG A & B as having participated in the Britzkrieg in the West-do you (or anyone else) know of anyone who makes decals/markings to target the correct vehicles.  I've researched and the current kits available only have decals for Eastern front & Greece options.

Thanks

Heinz Guderian  sure would make a nice badge

A bit early , i know , but thats what i was thinking .......obviousely .

Andy's G.B. is a yr. long so thats no pressure for me . I just have a lot of projects going on here at the home front . But they arent that hard that i cant get into another G.B. if thats what is wanted .

Heinz Guderian  sure would make a nice badge

I'm open.  I'm involved in Andy's Panzer III GB and thats it.  So do not think it would be to much for me to do this one also.  Not much of an answer, can wait or I can start this weekend, I already have a large selection of kits that would work in my stash to choose from.  What does everyone else think?

I think you should post a feeler thread Eric . October still sounds good to me . At least mid September . That would give about a month to get people interested .

I'm thinkin about a G.B. badge already !
