Goatmonkey, I oughta slap you. The whole point of the group build is to do something ridiculous!!!!

How impractical is a T-34 turreted M3 than a V1 Pz IV, or a MausV2 launcher?

Just for that, you're going to build a Long Tom mounted on the back of a DUKW.

Jeff

i said that because the idea had a backstory to it and it sounded like a serioius one. I'm not too interested in the DUKW, how about an E-100 turret on an ME-262 instead? Smile [:)]

I like either the spare parts gb or the just-not-right gb. I might have to jump in on this one just for the fun of it.

Actually, if you mounted an 88 on a Kubelwagen, you wouldn't even need a motor for the thing to rocket itself across the battlefield .... Tongue [:P]

Didn't the Germans already do this GB though? I think they called it their WWII armor development plan ....

OK gang, we have a badge and a name...and we start officially on June 1, but I'm not holding anyone to it.

I do have a simple rule...since this GB requires a certain level of imagination and clever ideas, I would like to request that if someone is doing a Kubelwagen with an 88 on it, not to steal his idea and do a Jeep with a 105mm just because you couldn't think of anything on your own. That sound fair and reasonable??

I'll start updating the first post to reflect the members and projects they sign up for. The sooner you announce your subject, the less likely you are to get a copycat.

If I had not seen a picture of one I know of a vehicle that would definantly be Not quite Right. That T 34 chassis with two jet engines mounted on top to blow out the burning oil wells after Desert Storm. Talk about a 1:1 kitbash!

You are all sick! Count me in, too! Tongue [:P]

I will have to have a couple of pitches of Mango Margtritas to relax after I finish my Bergepanzer(P) and think about what to do!
A BMW with a sidecar mounted 88? A Sturmkugelwagen? A Luftwaffe air droppable Maus? The famous German Tiger ace, The Red Baron's Tiger II?

lol, of course...all you need to do is something to it on June 1st...maybe take it off the shelf and dust it...and there...you've worked on it within the allotted time frame!! :-)

Nice job, looks very intimidating, yet, the color says you'd rather head for the mall than engage in all-out warfare, but you're equipped for either!

That was a junker kit (the old Tamiya Panther) that spends it's life as a test bed for techniques. I wanted to see how hand painting something would go,,,,,I want to do a Korean War era tank from Operation Ripper. The ones with the Tiger schemes, but I didn't want to ruin a decent M46 or M4A3E8 kit
