British army GB feeler

Glad to have you along GreySnake.

Bish, I am in with I don't know what yet. We are currently moving, moving models as well and there are casualties  which will have to be soretd out first. Then I'll go shoping for something British Army related

Cheers...

I'll join this here' GB.

Cheers guys, looks like we have plenty of interest in this.

This is my entry to this GB. Tamiya/Italeri staghound mk.1 (british armored car) in 1/35th.

Steve, i am sure you can find somthing.

Look forward to seeing that one Nick.

I'll have to check the stacks but if memory serves, I have a Hobby Boss 1/35 Land Rover WMIK buried somewhere. If I still have it, I'd like to join up.

Be nice you you have got that kit. I do have the one with the MILAN. I am not doing mine for this GB but be nice to see one.

Hey Bish, this is far enough away that I will be able to clear all the other GBs off the bench before I get to it. Only got a Tamiya 1/48 Achilles M10 in the stash, but there may be more before long....

Thats why i like to get it out there early Piers, give people plenty of head sup. The M10 sounds just fine.

Checked the storage closet before coming to work and the Land Rover WMIK is there. Now I just need to keep off evilbay for one of Black Dog's conversion kits.

Nice, i've got the one with the MILAN. Accurate Armour do some nice sets for those kits, just in case you wanted somthing extra

Cool site, now I want the SAS Longline LSV as well. I remember being tempted by Airfix's 1/48 Jackal and Coyote? combo, but decided to keep my armor limited to 1/72 and 1/35.

I have been looking at that SAS vehicle for a while. I have used a few of there AM sets and rather like them and will be doing their SNATCH for the GB. And if Hobby Boss don't bring out their jackal and Coyote kits soon i may opt for the resin options.

I ordered and received my entry for when this gets going.

I think you built this one already. Any sugestions?

Ye, watch the canopy. I snapped my first one and ended up buying a second kit. The way its meant to fit in puts stress on the clear part. I opened out the semi circular hole at the rear slightly so it could drop in.

Other than that, great kit and really nice decals. You get serials for every Apache thats been in British service.

I will put the build thread up middle of Nov.

Thanks mate, I remembered that you had some canopy issues but couldn't remember what caused them

I've been eying this one in the stash for months now waiting for this GB!

I can't commit just yet, as I have too many going. But the dream project would be one I've been collecting material for.

The M3 Grant based Canal Defence Light. Over 300 of these were converted, plus 300 Matildas.

The turret was replaced with an armored cupola that contained a 13 million candle power search light. There was also a dummy 37 mm gun. The light aperture is the vertical slot just to the side of the turret "gun".

A successful concept, they were used from D-Day Normandy on, and were a key defence against night counter attacks at the Rhine Crossing at Remagen.  

I'd use an Academy Grant that I've got salted away somewhere.

I'll be following in any case.

Look forward to seeing that Chad.

I have herad of those GM, i hope your able to do it next year.
