BIG CATS GROUP BUILD 2008

Yeah SMJ, Panther F and Panther II should qualify as well...with all the IR sighting gear they were the most advanced cats ever...

bufflehead, Svenne Duva, JMart, panzerguy, espins1, firesmacker: You're in!!!

moose421: You're in too, but I need the scale and kit mfr.

pordoi: ditto, but I need your kits scales.

SMJ: here are my details -

1/35 Cyber-Hobby Tiger II Ausf. B Initial Production (Porsche Turret), sPzKp (FKL) 316, Normandy 1944.

Can I join in?  Still a novice, but I have the DML Panther early G Pz.Rgt 26 and the DML Panther A Premium kits in my limited stash.  Or how about both (he said, biting off more than he can chew ) since the Panther A also has call outs for a Pz.Rgt 26 Cat.  Two Italian Big Cats. That would make an interesting contrast, one with zim the other without; one with add-on armor, the other without.

This will only be my third armor project and with a baby due in August, 9 months sounds like the perfect amount of time to work with.

I'm in with a 1:35 Tamiya Panther Type G Early.  Kit # (35261). It will be all OOB and the kit includes a PE Zimm set. ( Another IPMS Richmond show score. 20 Bucks vs. 68 dollars retail. SCORE!). I will probably start sometime in late April. I have most of the basics down but weathering is still my "White Whale".Hope you guys are looking forward to lots of pics asking for opinions and/or advice.

Regards,

Jeff

Let's see.  I really want to do a Panther for this GB. 

Put me down for a 1/35 Dragon Panther Ausf. G Late Production.  Unit/markings to be decided later. 

    With a badge that cool and the Tiger being my fav AFV I'm in with a DML 1/35 Initial Production Tiger.Should be able to start on it in june or july.Still thinking about that urban GB you got also. I have a Tamiya M4A3 Sherman that has been in my stash for awhile. 

Ok, I think I will join and start late summer, after I finish about 15 other builds lol

I will go with either the 1:35 Tamiya Panther A or the Tamiya King Tiger (Konig's), whichever one is easiest to build (?) and does NOT have zimm ;) 

OOB of course, I am not good enough for anything else for the momment :)

Cheers~!

Gusto.................Um..........Im going to try?  I really didnt want to but what the heck Im going to give it a try. I went ahead and bought Eduards zim for it. It was cheap so if I goof up it was cheap.  But now I know who to bug if and when I run into problems.

Hey williamsfw28, I'm just finishing up that kit for Winter Warriors...it's a good one! I ended up not using the whole PE sheet - you going for the gusto and doing it ALL?

1/35 Sd.Kfz.173 Jagdpanther Ausf.GI Early production, Dragon # 6458, if I may?

I still wonder if the supplied steel rimmed wheels could be interleaved with the rubber rimmed ones?

SMJ,

   With the Saturday start can you please switch me to a Panther A Late Production.  1/35 Dragon kit # 6358. I just ordered a bunch of goodies for it. 

Thanks   

I'm here to officially sign up....where's the application?

Since we've already got Panthers, Tigers and KTs I'll go with Dragon's new 1/35 Jagdpanther Early.  Better start practicing my checkerboard zim technique!!!

Are we really starting Saturday?  I thought it wasn't starting until June?

dupes, williamsfw28, summit, Hermesminiatures, Dre:  Got ya' added to the list...still need scale and kit mfr from some of you.  Please scroll up to participant list and post me back with the info needed, see parenthesis.  Thanks.

GUYS:  Please provide-SCALE, KIT MFR, AND TANK INFO WHEN SIGNING UP, thanks

I'm up with a Dragon KT with zimm, fruils and some PE.

edit... it is DML 6303 KT Henschel with zimmerit in 1/35 with fruil ATL16 tracks.

I'm in with a Tiger II Initial Production, sPzKp (FKL) 316, Normandy 1944. 1/35 Cyber-Hobby kit, plus Fruil tracks and probably some extra PE.

This should be fun

Hey, looks like I'm number 2 on the list. Will be building the 1/35 Tamiya Tiger I Late (35146) with Eduard barrel, Lion Roar PE, and some form of home-made zim. Might try the soldering iron on this one.

Fired up! That badge is pretty swank-tacular.
