                        Okay, I'm now leaning to AFV's Pak 40. Unfortunately it is due out in April. However, this is okay, the build starts April 15th. Who knows, I may change my mind yet again.

                        hi fellas Big Smile [:D] , as you guys all building german or u.s stuff i'm going to try something different , got myself today a c7p from mirage hobby (320 picesTongue [:P]) it's a polish heavy artillery transporter but going to make it in the russian version and pulling a sowj.panzerabwehrkanone (76.2mm) from revell,italeri,or maquette (the one from maquette i bought as a 57mm but it came with a 76.2mm barrel also, by the way all the 3 pices artillery from the different brands are exactly the same kit , so i have 3 the same 76.2mm and thinking of putting them all in the same dio.) don't know what you fellas think if it would look alright?as for the group build i'm gonna make two projects if thats allright Tongue [:P] the other one is a steyr osttractor with a nebelwerfer and some figs.

                        I am doing work on four things at the minute. I have like a little rotating system so I am always doing something. One happens to be a towed gun, but I started it beforehand any how. But if i get really busy at work or something, I can always pull it out in April and say 'here's one I started earlier!'

                        Yeah I might be a little bit of a late starter. Still have to decide what I'll actually build. I'm down to two definite choices, but I want to be sure, as I'll be placing them in a dio probably.

                        i have no problem 'multi-tasking'
                        or forgetting abt one thing and jumping to another.
                        but i just cut down my models in progress from 4 to 2.
                        so i want to whittle that a bit more before starting this.
                        and since there is 5 weeks before the start . . . .

                        by then this thread will be 40 pages long!
                        everyone will b before the start date.
                        :-)

                        I have built the demag and posted pics also. It is a great build.

                        I received my Russian Tank Riders and the Russian Scouts/Snipers from DML to add to my Dneiper Defense Dio

                        Still waiting to start :)

                        Yeah the 88mm looks really nice when finished. I just gone one as well. Don't know if that's what I'll be doing for the GB, but I just wanted to pick one up. Got the 8t halftrack to tow it as well. Both kits are of nice enough quality. I don't know anything about the accuracies of them. The only thing I don't like about the halftrack is the fact that the rear portion of the body is a one piece moulding, and the lower chasis is also a one piece moulding, which means some tedious masking when it comes to painting. To be honest, I like the quality of the tamiya parts, but I REALLY hate the chasis of their trucks (at least the one's I've buil, including the dragon wagon) being moulded as a single piece.

                        Can't seem to locate an 88 around here when I have the money! Sad [:(]
                        I did manage to grab a 20mm Flak 38 that should look good behind the 251/1 on the shelf, still gonna finish the 25 pdr/FGT during the build too.

                        You got it right about the price Tigerman. Got it for about 12 Dollars here. Already a good price for a Tamiya product. Latest Tamiya products usually sell for about 20 Dollars on the average. Their M1A2 sells for about 21 Dollars here. I wonder how much their Leo 2 A6 will be cause that's the one that I am interested into.

                        Dwight, it is pretty nice and the only I know of. Price is right also.

                        Hi guys.

                        I think I failed to mention that I will be doing Tamiya's German 88mm Gun Flak 36/37. It is an old kit with (I heard) lots of inaccuracies. The Tamiya Factory here in the Philippines is currently producing it and I got one a month ago. It includes 9 figures so a dio is a big possibility.

                        Still looks good for an old kit. And I am going to build it OOB in Flak 36 version. Boy, I can't wait to start this one, too.

                        He guys, sorry for the lack of posts in the past two weeks, my parents were out of town, therefore, no internet, no Forums! But I'm back and I'm definately doing the Demag with nebelwerfer plus a couple more nebelwefers and a Opel truck for a dio. The Germans would be setting up their position and unloading ammo. how's it sound?

                        Meanwhile ive been working on an Ost (eastern) Front flak 36 and a Hanomag, and just finished my first three dios, hopefully I can post some pics. i'm also getting a jump start on a project for school (it hasnt been assigned yet but it will be) The project will be on the Roman empire, so I'm building a 1/72 scale Roman vs Gallic battlefield

                        Sorry to write such a long post but I'm glad I'm back,

                        The revell demag should be readily available. At least it is here in the great white north. I've seen it in every hobby shop I've been in here for the last couple of months.

                        Boyd, since you have so many kits that qualify for the build, just build one now, but it won't count towards the group build. You'll still have more to choose from.



                        That is pretty much what I had decided to do this afternoon. I have to be out of town tomorrow and I'll be staying in a motel. I think I'll bring the flak 37 with me and veg out in front of the TV in my room, get some take out, and build the -37. That outta whet my appetite until April.... Big Smile [:D]
