Yo SchattenSpartan I'm interested!  I've got a Italeri Jagdpanzer IV that I started for Tigerman's "Hunters" GB back in 08.  Its about 20% started and I want to finish it.  I've also got Dragon's Jagdpanzer IV A, SU-100, and Jagdpanther if the started kit won't work.

I wouldn't allow an Hs 129 even if it did count as a self propelled AT gun! (I want you to cut off both wings in that case though) Why? Because it's Censored ugly! That's why!!! And don't you dare to talk back!!! Yeah, I said it! It's ugly! What are you going to do now?!!! Angry

Just kidding. Any kind of plane is a no-go here. I think the 129 is ugly, but it looks cool at the same time! (maybe it was the inspiration for the A-10?) Wink

LOL!!!!  Smile

SIR, YES SIR!!!!! 

You rock Clemens.

You are right about it being an inspiration for the A-10.  Lots of similarities! 

Thanks for the laugh!

Would any of the E--series of paper JagdPanzers qualify?  If so, I'm in.

Oh gee, forgot I do have an Ferninand, Jadgpanther, and a Su-100 too, since I'm on a big olive drab kick here lately. Looks like I've got everything but the time to build all this stuff.

You might consider: Seek...Strike...Destroy... Although that kinda refers to only US TDs.

I'll post this in the GB calendar, but I'd need a good name for it. Any suggestions?

How about "Rolling Thunder", "Shoot To Thrill" or "Fire Your Guns"? Just some suggestions from my side...

Ok, we got 5 guys interested in this one after less than one day, so I think this is a definite "yes" to the question "to be or not to be" regarding this GB!

No problem Clemens.  I've got to have something in the stash that would qualify (if not...it's a good excuse to get something!).  So you can still count me in!

P.S. I was going to joke with you and ask if a Hs 129B with gear down would qualify, but didn't know if anyone would get the humor!  Embarrassed

Would you allow partial builds? I have Dragon's Panzerjager 1 about 25% done that's been sitting doing nothing for over 12months. Would give me the motivation to finish it.

Clem, I haven't forgotten about those instructions. I managed to get them out the other day, I just need to scan them and send them off. But there is a lot to scan.

For all of you who are not sure if they find a subject you like: All the TDs and everything that drives and has an AT gun is allowed, so there should be a lot of vehicles to choose from.

Cliff: I have a nice collection of TDs to choose from as well:

  • Eduard Hetzer
  • Dragon Ferdinand (Kursk)
  • Dragon Jagdpanther
  • Dragon Marder 3
  • Dragon T28 (yes, that driving bunker with 4 tracks and the huge gun)
  • AFV Club M-10 (I ordered one at my LHS, but still on its way to them)

And I have a 251 with a Pak 40 in my stash as well...

Eagle: It's only TDs and self propelled AT guns (Nashorn, 251 with Pak 40, Halftrack with AT gun, RSO with Pak 40,...), so yes: armor only.

Darn you Clemens!  Wink

I'm sure I could find something.  If it's a go, count me in!  Not sure what yet.  Is it armor only?  Just wondering.

Lemme see - I got lotsa TDs...

Yeah, Jan 1st is a better date to start this one.

I know what you mean about the Marder. I have started work on Eduard's Hetzer (a great little kit with full interior!) but I chose to put it on ice because my modelling skills were not good enough for that kit at the time. I'll try to fix some of the mistakes I made back then (there is a pretty bad gap where the engine firewall meets one of the hull sides for example...)

I like the sound of this one, the timing sounds good to me. Most of the current builds will have either finished or coming close to ending.

I have a Marder that's been at the top of the build list for a while and keeps getting nudged down.

As a personal suggestion, I would make the start date jan 1st and keep it as a 2014 GB.
