1/48 Armor GB - 2007

Darren, welcome! I've added you to the list, a non-WWII subject. Along with Rob, yours two are the only non-wwii subject. Nice to get the variety.

Waikong I'm definitely up for this one, can you please put me down for a Tamiya M-26 Pershing.

Rob, where the heck did you get that kit from I don't think I've ever seen one quite like it, was it part of a series? 

Cheers

Thanks, I've got this 6-wheeled combat vehicle that is 1/48 scale but does not fit into most traditional group build genres. I thought it would be a good vehicle to build for this GB.

hkshooter, done. You are fast! These kits build much faster than my usual aircrafts, but 3 hrs? Maybe you should build 2 or 3 more! I've started my Sherman, but it'll take more than 3 hrs for me.

I got my VW staff  car in the post today so should be getting started on it pretty soon.There's not alot to the kit so I'm going to be putting it in a dio.

I could'nt find a Kubel in stock so I also bought the Schwimmwagen and might try and incorperate that into my dio,I'll be keeping an eye on your build Rooster.

I'll post some pics up as I progress. 

I started the Schwimmwagen today.  It is as though I have to paint each part separately and then glue the whole thing together.   

On the plus side, the kits looks as well built as the Kubelwagen.

This one will be many shades of panzer gray to contrast with the timber oar and the tools.

Thanks for adding me waikong...

Thad, great to see you on board!

Good to see the interest in 1/48th armor.

Put me down for a Kubelwagen W/conversion.

Count me in on this one please......I'v been itching to do one of the Tamiya 1/48 kits and this GB will be a good excuse I'll be doing Tam's VW Type 82E staff car for sure and perhap's a Kubel.

Hi, figured I'd clarify my project from the other thread... I'm doing the Tamiya Initial Tiger I with the Voyager PE set, stowage from the Tamiya stowage set, and a whole complement of Tamiya figures: all four crew members and some infantry moivng alongside... I did Tiger 332 on the Russian front, with extra details added as per the relatively complete photos of the tank in Tigers in Combat I, and I'm going to do the terrain like the picture a few pages earlier of a Tiger I from the same group (503)  crossing a road during a quiet period while a bunch of infatrymen mill around alongside.

The tank is almost done, working on the tracks now (which I saved for last) then finish installing the outer set of wheels, and then finish assembling and painting the figures, and figuing out how to make the terrain. 

Waikong, can you put me down for this one.

Not sure what I'll be building yet, possibly a Tamiya T-34.

I've got at least 2 more projects to complete before I start on this one. 

Built the Tamiya Beetle last year and that was a breeze, so lookinh forwards to more 1/48 armour.

Hi,

It's ok for me (piwi974 not pin974 ) . For me it will be M10 Tamiya.

Welcome hkshooter. J West, kv-2 it is. I've updated the list, I'm impress some of you guys are planning to do 2 builds. I have the HobbyBoss t-34 with full interior I was planning to do for the armor interior GB, maybe I can fit it in 2 GBs!

Also great to see support for this scale, I would hate to see it go away.

picked up the KV-2. I am good to go. I have to hold off on starting till I get my current project done, but I should be rolling on this in a month or so. Looking forward to seeing what you guys turn out!

How about this for a GB?

The badge looks great.  A Tiger will always be an eye catcher.

Looks good to me. And sign me up for an M4 Sherman, early. Let me get to my stack and I'll toss in another.

How about this for a GB?

I think I'll break out my Kubelboat right now.  I'm sure that pictures will follow.
