For those that ship directly from an online shop, it might be good if the person on the receiving end posts saying he/she got the package. Otherwise the sender has no way of knowing.

Let me ask all you guy's opinions... Since its alot easier for the aircraft guys then us.

When you think this groupbuild, do you all think just tanks and soft skin vehichles, or do you also thing things like Arty, infintry carriers, ect.

So, just tanks, or any kind of 1/35 military?  So many put 1/35 'anything' for their request, so I wana make sure its clarified.

i agree with the "ill build anything", its the thought that counts and i dont want anyone breaking the bank because armor does get expensive. i really like the badge too, very retro!
