                        I haven't even found the 1/72 on the shelves yet, but I haven't checked for a week, either. I do have a couple of their 1/144, though, and close to all their other 1/72 kits. What I've found with the 1/72 is that the instructions have lots of errors in them. You need to be careful when building them. But they look very good when they are done.

                        ausf; I'm confused. You said before that we needed to have a "start" photo of the sealed box with something showing the date (like the weather channel) in the background. I was going to order a new kit as the ones I've got have been opened. The bags are still sealed, though. Are we now okay to have an opened box, but sealed bags? Thanks.

                        No rules besides the 24 hour, one kit guidelines....
                        This is about fun, creativity and a lot of laughs.

                        Now, to find out what kit to build,Any suggestions?
                        I was thinking one of hasegaws.


                        This is an old post that has resurfaced...
                        There's no need for any signing up, whoever can make it on the 8th, is in.
                        Anybody passerby is welcome.
                        It's nice to hear who's planning on joining and that interest is growing, the main thing is to have a list the day of, or day before (remember I'm on EST).

                        The only experience I have with different kits...A while back I ordered 3 different brands of the 1/72 Tiger I to see the differences, RevellAG (not the one I'm building for MTD), Italieri (T-34), Airfix and Hasegawa.
                        The latter two were truly horrible kits. I've been told that they're very old molds but I'm turned off to those companies for good.
                        I'd have to say RevellAG is the way to go.
                        Also note that I haven't built any of these, just put on the shelf so I don't know how they fit...or how those Revell tracks are going to go together.Tongue [:P]

                        Just to let you know that I am still in. I picked up a 1/72 Revell Tiger 2 Ausf. B and stashed it under my bench. It looks easy enough but I have not used the styrene tracks in bits before. May need a practice run on another before the GB date.

                        I ordered a Revell Tiger I H yesterday. The e-invoice says it's an E, but the picture is of the H kit. Here's hoping. Should have it by the end of the week. Then if I can just keep my hands off it for 3 months!! Naaaw, I'll have to order another one later!! lol Maybe the new Dragon or Trumpeter ones will be out by then!

                        Anybody can join whenever they want, I'm not asking for any commitment whatsoever. No registration, I'm just curious about how many are interested. Get a 1/72 Tiger I and jump in if you can. If you can only put in two hours, great, let's see what two hours worth of modeling is for you....
                        Heath, by all means still build when you can and I'll post it with the group. That goes for anyone.
                        This is all about fun, that's it!

                        I would love to do this. Although august 8th is so far into the future for me I am not sure if I can do it till I get closer to the date.

                        Sorry guys, didn't realize that setting it up so everyone could participate was going to upset anyone. I was just hoping to add the 5 or more modelers who couldn't join in the fun on Aug 8th. and trying to get more exposure to some of the inexperienced tank modelers, and show them that modeling can be just as silly and fun, as it can be serious. Obviously it can't be as silly and fun as I would have hoped to show them. Good luck with your builds.

                        If August 8 is good for me, I will be at my desk building too! If not, I will enjoy reading the stories of all the guys who gave it a shot. Should be quite entertaining! Smile [:)]
