My name isn't on the list? That's BLASPHEMY!!!

Just kidding

I should have a few German vehicles in my stash that might might the theme here...

Let's see.. I'll build one of those:

And now for something completely different:

I hope the master of this GB approves?

Cheers, Clemens 

Ye, I was going over the feeler thread and checking what you had put yourself down for. So I will pout you down for both.

Brave lad.

I'll add some Friul Tracks to both kits (I hate those big magic tracks) and the Panther needs an RB gun barrel as well because the machine I'm going to build had the muzzle brake removed.

Some pics of the vehicles I want to build:

Hey Bish, glad to see the official thread up, but I wanted to let you know I'll be building the Porsche turret Tiger, not the Henschel.

Bish please add me for a Dragon Firefly 1/35 too.

Thanks, Terry

Sorry bob, I have corrected it.

jibber, that will go onto the D-day to berlin GB which will have its own thread.

Will do thanks, I'll look at something else.

Bish, put me down for Dragon's Jagdpanzer IV L/48.

This was my intended axis build for the Longest Day GB, but no time to fit it in.  I  need to get myself cloned (a few times at that), to keep pace with all the interesting GB's out there.  Anyhow, won't see this one on the bench till the new year, but have signed up now to follow what other members have on the go.  Thanks!

regards,

Jack

Got you down Jack. If you work out how to clone yourself, let me know. I could do with another 2. My build probably won't be until the new year either, I am just about at my limit for this year, and that will be a squeeze. Still not sure what I will do yet.

Bish, would the Sherman M4A1 in 1/35 by Tasca work, if so please sign it in.

Bish I've been wanting to build a Tasca Sherman for a while. There are so many variations I was thinking the M4A1 or the M4A3?  

Hey Terry, I think you misunderstood the theme of this GB. This one is for German vehicles only. There will be a separate GB for the Allied ones.

jibber, sorry, I think I may have not been clear. This GB thread is for German armour only, there will be another, run by Eagle, that will be for Allied armour. That will be titled D-day to Berlin. Your Firefly would defiantly be ok for that, as for the M4A1, what I know about Allied armour you could put on a stamp, twice. But I know one of the other guys will know.

And we crossposted again LOL. This keeps happening way too often, don't ya think?

Great minds think alike

Bish my apologies, I completely misunderstood. I'm an %#*/...

I'm going btw GB's and I noticed the Sherman on the badge and assumed without reading. After reading it your very clear on the requirements.

Bish I'm sorry to waste your time with this..  

No worries jibber, if you ever get as confused as I do, its really time to worry.

Alright, I'm in with the Italeri 1/35 Sd.kfz. 234/3 8-rad.

Bish, thanks for lettin' me in!    It's shaping up to be a great GB, and I'm definitely pumped for it.  Figuring I'll learn a lot from you guys, as it's been at least two decades since I built anything in 1/35 scale.

Greg, got you on the roster, glad to have you on board.

Mike, given the amount of help you have given to others, me included, in building WW1 Aircraft, I hope we can return the favour.

Bish sign me up with Academy's 1/35 Stug IV 75mm. Not sure which unit but I have markings for an SS division.

Welcome aboard shiv, I have you on the roster.

hey bish. would the VERSUCHSFLAKWAGEN 88mm PZSFL-IVC work? i think they only made 2 and i really need to focus on doing modern warwheels and fire trucks (yea right, i'm lucky if i can stay with just vehicles) but this thing is sitting in my study staring at me and it is sooooo cool. and i already know how to build an 88 as do you and eagle.

wayne, does it have the Flak 37 or Flak 41 guns. From what I know, there were 3 prototypes, originally armed with Flak 37's. In 44 they were re armed with 41,s but then one was changed back to a 37 and this was send to Italy, so that would not qualify. But I am not sure what happened to the other 2. I will do some digging into that.

I can count on 1 hand the number if tracked vehicle kits I've done so will prolly be asking alot of questions. First, the kit I have comes with vynal treads. Since the Stug IV was built on a panzer IV chasis would the same tracks be used as that of the Panzer?

Shiv, yes, tracks from a later model Panzer IV would work. I take it your thinking of replacing them.

I'll be asking a lot of questions as well Shiv, I've only built 1 AFV so I'm completely in the dark.
