i will be getting my 8 rad soon (i hope) so who else wants to build one? roden makes them, and tamiya is begining to reissue them again.

i have an 8 Rad in the closet, but it will depend on timing
i am building for the toed gun now, and will be doing a Stug in the fall.
and there has also been some talk abt me doing something w/ a multi-turret GB.
(i had better build FASTER!)

so i guess it depends on when.

Sounds like a great idea, unfortunately I don't have time right now to commite to another group build. Good luck to those of you getting in on this build, and remember to share the results with the rest of us Smile [:)]

hey guys, I have a 234/4 I was about to get back to if I could join? I started the kit a few years ago with the turret. This would give me the motivation to get back to it!

With the current towed gun and Small AFV builds, and stug and proposed Panzer IV builds coming up, I'm a little too commited to add this GB unless you are looking for a future build date. Seems a few guys are interested if you can wait a while T34.

hummmmm monsterarmor. maybe we could change it to a 8 wheeled german ww2 gb? not too many 8-rads out there it seems. this would include pumas, not sure what else. what does everyone else think?

I guess theres just too many group builds going right now. It sounds fine to me though for the 8 wheeld GB ..Ive already gotten back to working on the kit. I almost have all the Aber stuff on the turret. Guess I got a bit of a head start. Sorry .
