Putting feelers out for a Kursk GB

This looks like an interesting build, and I think I'd like to try it. Got a few armor kits sitting around and this would motivate me to get started on one. Now here's where my armor ignorance comes into play. I know that my T34-85 is out, probably along with my Marder III, Panther G, and Panzer IV H. That leaves me an early Tiger I, a Flak 88, or a Kubelwagon. Any chance that one of those qualify, or do I need to hit the LHS (not that I would really mind )?

All three should qualify. Depends which Marder III you have. The Russian 76mm? yeah, you need a Panther D and a Panzer IV G or less.

If anyone has a good reference of vehicles, by all means please share. Katyusha (Stalin Organ) would be another great Russian vehicle. Italeri makes one.

Nope it's 1/35th. I will have a set up of 4 foot X 24 feet when all is said and done.

Mark

I would so be in!!!!!!

If I didn't have to move

well i'll deffinatly be in eric. not sure what i'll do as i don't have a "stash" like you other lucky modelers here. i'll have to ask momma for some extra spending money this month. count me in, but i won't buy a kit until later on next week.

My Dragon Brummbar won't work, it's a Late version w/steel wheels. I'm going with the KV. Might have to get some transfers and Migs for this one.

Don't forget halftracks and arty.

There is a Tiger I scheme from the Das Reich at Kursk that I've been wanting to try for a long time.  When you're ready to get a roster going, put me down for a 1/35 Tamiya Tiger I in "Das Reich" markings.

Trying to think what I have in my currant stash that this would maybe motivate me to complete. Think All I have that may have been there is one of Dragon's Marder IIs. If i remember right there were a handful of marders. Anyone correct me on this?

I would say almost definitely in Kursk.

Any input from the resident experts is welcome.

Just as long as it isn't a T-34/85.
