Okay, I just picked up an Italeri 1/72 scale T-34/76 at the hobby store I used to work for. I'll be making it German. I also have an Airfix 1/72 scale Panzer IV that I'll be making Russian, and an Airfix 1/72 scale Matilda I'll also be making German. Along with that, I have an M-3 White Halftrack I'm going to kitbash with a British 6 pdr gun to make an Israeli vehicle.

So, put me down for four 1/72 scale kits in this Group Build:

Panzer IV
T-34/76
Matilda
M-3 White Halftrack

Gee, I'll have my own little group build going in this Group Build! Clown [:o)]

I have heard alot of bad stuff about it. Actually I have heard that lots of thier armor sucks. But others Are awsome. But no, an American wirblewind doenst sound far fetched at all. This build is entirely up to your imagination.

hey guys just added you to the list, welcome aboard!

It could work. By that stage of the War, some Germans were abandoning equipment pretty regularly. Then again, if they only went to the Elite (read SS) troops, then it might limit the probability. Still, the maini guidlines for this group build did leave open the possibility of a 'fictitious' subject, since it states:

"4. doesnt have to be historically accurate??????????????"

I'd say go for it. And if there is some historical accuracy to it, I think I'll also look into getting one and building it that way!

Sounds pretty cool. Count me in. I have a P-38 J Droopsnoot that I could do with Japanese colors.

Ernie If I can not do something about a problem, it's not my problem; it is a fact of life...

I really like the T34s in the German Markings, they look good.

I think I'd like to join this as well. I have several kits on the waiting list that I could easily make into captured vehicles. I've already done several:

Cool!! Just got in some 1/32 markings for a captured Me-109E! Found the Hasegawa kit at the second hand store on base for $6, so I really can't lose if I want to try some P.E. ,too. This will also be my first 1/32 a/c, EVER! Should be interesting Big Smile [:D]

Hey, I'm in, as long as you guys start in Feb. I'm thinking about a Canadian Challenger II. I'll be using the trumpeter 1/35 kit, and maybe use it in a diorama (is that ok?). I think it's time Canada replaced its Leopard I's!! Cool [8D]
