I made an error at the local hobby shop today and bought the Tamiya 1/48 m1a2 abrams variant instead of the m1a1 used in Desert Storm. Based on my research though, I could pretty easily convert it to an m1a1 for the group build if that is ok with you Glamdring.

Put me down for a Tamiya 1/35 Challenger 1 Mk.3. Planning on placing the order for the kit next week along with PE to replace the horrible mesh included in the kit, different decals and a couple resin figures.

I'd like to join in on this. I was a reservist, mobilized for Desert Storm, hard to believe it's been almost 30 years. I don't have a subject chosen yet, I'd need to go through my stockpile to see what I have, but I think I might prefer something that I drove (which wasn't much). I'll do some research to see what's out there.

tempestjohnny - that's a nice, iconic choice!

The First Gulf War 30th Anniversary Build

Posted by Glamdring on Sunday, December 6, 2020 3:12 PM

We are 30 years removed from the First Gulf War, and this is a group build to commemerate the beginning of combat operations by Coalition forces on January 17th, 1991.

The subject can be any piece of military hardware or figure used by the Coalition forces or Iraqi military, in their 1991 configuration. (Ex. if someone has a kit of the USS Missouri, it must reflect the ship's Gulf War setup, not WW2 or Korea)

I will use this Wiki page as a reference factor for entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gulf_War_military_equipment
