I dug into the stash today and have decided on my subject. The AFV Club Wiesel 1 TOW:
There's a scheme for an interesting UN/German unit scheme, think I'll be going with that.

Looks awesome Archangel, I waiting for someone to kick this off. I still haven't ordered my Leopard II yet, I want to get some more done on my Abrams for the Modern Armour GB first.
Love that tank commander. I've heard tanks got really hot inside, guess that's why she's not wearing any pants? Not that I'm complaining...
She's a lot cuter than than German tank commander in Kelly's Heroes.
P.S. She looks a little like Manny's fifth wife, or so I've heard...

Well lets see if I can finish this before the end of the year?
I needed a 1/32 German tank for the same scale figure I purchased the other month and I got a pretty good deal on the tank from Hobby Lobby.
The tank commander... doesn't look anything like Brad Pitt. Not sure if someone had used this pic as a previous GB badge in the past.
Rubber tracks, won't be fiddling with separate links here. Save that for the King Tiger.
Gave the parts a bath in warm soapy water and now drying out.
Being a newer release I don't believe the decals will be a problem.
Got the figure cleaned up and primed. She only has 3 pieces, the other few parts were the tank cupola, hatch and binoculars
Now to start putting it all together.
On the bench: So many hanger queens.
Count me in on this GB too. I got so much German stuff, I will let you know in the next couple days what it will be....
P.S.: Love the badges for this one!

TheWaggishAmerican Bish I didn't know either until i saw it, i think it was a Meng kit. It was a beast of a box, almost £90. It looks huge. The 1/144 is as big as two 1/35 panzer's on it's own. HLJ has it for $85+ shipping... I just might have to grab it once I see how I'm sitting after the Christmas season.

I have seen the 144 kit built up and your not wrong.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Sailing_Dutchman A Ratte would be an interesting build, is it in 1/35?

Quick question- which GB badge would be appropriate for the Ratte? WWII or General?
I wish! No, it's the Takom 1/144 with the two Maus'. As long as it fits your rules, that'll be my entry.

TheWaggishAmerican Bish Is that the 144 or 72nd kit. I went into our LHS the otehr day and saw the 72nd kit, didn't even know one had been released. 1/144. I didn't know they made a 1/72- that would be a BEAST of a kit! I'll have to keep my eye out for it. -TWA

TheWaggishAmerican How do you feel about paper panzers? I don't have many tanks in the stash, but I do have a P.1000 I wouldn't mind taking a stab at if it's accepted. -TWA

Think I will start with the Mongram PzkwIV. I have a 1/32 crew commander in mind for this kit.
If I don't get sidetracked, I wll attempt to complete the Tamiya 1/16th Leopard A4. It's one of the oldest kits in my stash going back to when I picked it up around 1988 when stationed at MCAS Futenma
And if I have any time remaiing, I will try and take on the Meng King Tiger and it's Interior Set Just looking at the interior set looks daunting.
Bish Thats a Tiger i haven't seen before Bobby, you planning on adding some Zimm.

LOL! Another one of my Estate sale finds. Zimm?? Never done it before...why not, no time like the present huh? Uhhhhh, I may be coming to you for advice on the Zimm. LOL!
I'm in put me down for a AFV Club SD.KFZ.231
Clint
What's the saying?....Go big or go home?! LOL!
I'd like to enter with my Academy 1/35 Tiger-I tank! This should look cool on the shelf huh?
I was planning on revisiting the Tamiya SdKfz 7/1 8-ton halftrack w/ flakvierling on New Year’s Eve (a tradition started by a friend). The model was one of my earliest Tamiya builds, and I have fond memories of it, even though I just sloshed white paint on the bare plastic to get the winter whitewash effect.
I have secured a fresh kit, and although I wanted to do a nostalgia build, I have succumbed to AMS and have aftermarket tracks, gun barrels, and PE. I know there are other more modern kits of the subject, but I really wanted to have that “Tamiya feeling” again.
So please put me down for a Tamiya 1/35 SdKfz 7/1.
Put me down for the group build. Just have to find a kit to build:)
SD, I'm definitely down with this GB! I'll let you know what I'll build as soon as I figure out which kit in the stash I'll target!

Sailing_Dutchman plasticjunkie - It was made in Germany and is armored so it counts.

Wunderbar und fantastisch!! Sign me up with a Sd.kfz.234/4 mit 7.5cm L/48!!
This 8 rad is just awesome:
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Daddyman - Yes a kit that is 25%-30% built is fine. Also, nice work on the Hurricane it came out nicely even with the painting trouble.
Put me down for a 1/35 Dragon Jagdtiger.
Perfect timing for the ability to login. My entry will be an Italeri 1/35 Sturmtiger.
