Size Doesn't Matter in a Tin Can! Light tanks GB

I'm in with a 1/35 Tamiya Stuart

I'd like to support you in this GB Mike. I've had a look through my 1/48 stash, and I can't find anything that classifies as a 'light tank'. I guess a cruiser tank, like a Valentine or Matilda isn't really it ? What about a Panzer II ?

I can't think of another 1/48 kit that would qualify, but I am open to suggestions. I have plenty of armored cars, but they're not it either.

Cheers

Tony

Cruiser tanks can be. Matilda are not though. It's a fine line distinction with the cruiser tanks. The Crusader, for instance, is included, but the the Cromwell and Matilda is not. The A10 and A13 Cruiser tanks are included. Panzer II's are light tanks. Any ausfuhrung (model number) of the Panzer I and II's are included. Like the Panzer I Ausf. A, B, C , etc.

Oh, Tony, I'll be participating in your 2014 Automotive GB with that Hudson Hornet that I never finished. 

Thanks for the clarification Mike. I do have some Crusaders in the stash, although I usually prefer German armor.  Let's call it a Crusader Mk III, 1/48, Tamiya for now.

Cheers

...and I'll add the Hornet to the Automotive GB, I do want to see how that kit goes.

i should say NO but it's MIKEY and he ran a good FIRE/EMS GB so i will seriously consider this though i am stacked up like DIA in a blizzard. if wheels are allowed no problem. i have some JGSDF, canadian, and PLA stuff. if not i have a BT-5 or 7 in the stash that would be a quick build with some new weathering techniques.

Unfortunately wayne, the Fire/EMS GB didn't go as well as had hoped but it did go well... And no, wheels are not allowed (unless you're talking idler wheel ;) . Haha). Only tracks, so the BT-5 or 7 would be allowed.

ok. also have an italian tankette in the stash.

it was your first GB and the subject was not as broad as this one. i enjoyed it and just picked up the reissued revell ladder truck.

Mike,  I would have built for the Fire/EMS GB, it was an interesting subject, but at that time I had a serious backlog to deal with. After a massive effort late last year, I'm pretty close to being on top of it, so I should be ready to roll with any new GBs coming up.

Keep going with these specific subjects. Although they don't get big attendances due to the specific nature, I find them really interesting and an opportunity to build something that might not have seen the light of day otherwise.

Cheers

Mikey: have you made a GB badge yet?

No. I though interest waned but I guess not. Well if people are interested I guess we can restart the build and set a later start date and the like. Unfortunately I'm not on here much anymore. More so Armorama. Anyone interested?
