You know it Rand! Going to be a good one. No problem with the KT Porsche!

One clarification was pointed out to me by "someone" - there can be large differences between "winter camo" and "winterized" - especially in U.S. A/C... We're definitely going for winter camoflage as the requirement for the build. Adjust accordingly.

Remember, the badge can be displayed only upon completion of your build.

Sure am, Ben! No matter how many times I see that scene it makes me laugh! I figure between the sig and my avatar (no vette for you!) people will realize I like to smile and laugh, and not take me too seriously!

Lots of high caliber builders here, Dupes, this is gonna be embarrassing Glad to see so many signed up already.

Alright Dupes! This is going to be good. Thanks Hermesminiatures for the badges, great stuff.

Got 2 options, I can't do the T34/76 cause I've started it, my wife started the T34/85.... So, Tiger I (late) or Hummel (initial version)????? Tiger is the Tamiya kit, Hummel is the Dragon. Input please Dupes.

I don't even know for sure if the Tiger I, being the late version, would be in winter camo.

No doubt though, sign me up!

Alrighty, Dupes! Those badges are fantastic Hermes! Great work both of you. I'll probably go with my DML Porsche Kingtiger, since I only have that and an Elephant! If I find something else I'll let you know, but for now the Tiger. Boring for you guys, but my first tiger!

Funny you should mention that! Evidently my keystrokes wrote a check bigger than my *** can cash. I would like to change my to the Academy 1/72 ME-109e 3/4 but I'm trying to find winter camouflage that is accurate. So in short I'm in the build but maybe changing my kit around Christmas

Excellent! The list grows! Good to have you guys.

MG42 - I had to google your build. Never heard of it before. Heh.

chef_ben - good to see some more A/C guys! Interested in seeing a P-51 winterized...can't say I remember seeing pics of that anywhere. What theater of ops was that used in?

I'm thinking a StuG IV or the British Panther Cuckoo in its winter sceme...one of the two.
