Hey jadgpanther, when the GB started, you mentioned something about us possibly perhaps getting a kit from an older builder when we finished.Confused [%-)] Have you followed up on that at all? Just wonderingWhistling [:-^]

And an update on my Jeep. The red check decals are actually cooperating. I'm about half done with those, and the other bits and pieces are coming along nicely.

A small idea, Jagdpanther. for the list where it says what everyone is building, have it, for example with Tacobuff, like this.

Tacobuff: Stuart (Finished), Panther

 

So we also know that he have built that Stuart for this GB.

 

And I'm airbrushing my plane :D  Pictures to come.

Ok, just came back from airbrushing. need to do some post-airbrush fixes with my brush.. Please give constructive comments. My first plane. I say it turns out pretty good :)

 

 

Colours may be a bit off in pictures... Bad picture time now :)

I'm still here, I just havn't posted anyting as I am still waiting for the Friuls for my Challenger to arrive, but with the short timeframe of this GB I might just have to start building the rest of it and build the tracks when they arrive. Great work on your HMMWV so far btw, the M-16's are a nice addition.
