I changed my vote from Anti Aircraft to to Self Propelled because I was told Self Propelled Anti Aircraft would be included.

Honestly it does not matter to me. I don't have the time to complete a build in 6 months anyways, so most likely I won't be participating. I have never completed a build in 6 months.

If I were to build something would I get credit for both the Self Propelled and the Panzer 38 catagories if I built this? :D :D

Hi Shawn

Great choice, is it a "paper Panzer?"

Is it available?

You have finished more "real" GB's than I have :oops:

Its the "taking part" that counts ;)

I am going to try and build Out Of the Box, but my choice has slightly more parts than the Tamiya Pz II G,

My one and only finished ANYTHING!!!!

I appreciate you have a lot on, but your choice does look a straight forward build, no figures, no base ;)

Looks like a cracking choice Shawn

If you can finish it in 6 months, definitely :lol:

If the time limit is an issue, how about something very simple? I know the Kettenkrad is tiny, but the superdetailing and the figures on your level would have taken me twice as long :?

Steve, the sIG 33 thingy on 38(t) was a late war project. I think they finished a handful in early 1945. The Dragon kit should come out any day now, we'll see how bad it is.

Steve- It a brand new release and it is available at a few placed right now. Somewhat pricey around $65.00.

I am not building this kit, just thought it was interesting how it could cover both GB at once. I wish it came with magic tracks, but at least it does not come with DS tracks. :roll: It has the section of track links, then some individual tracks to fit in between. I don't know what they are called.

Unfortunately I have a difficult time not including figures and I base.

Philipp- My Kettenkrad build will be done before the end of the year. :D I just need one or two days to finish it. The figures are actually done. Just a few odds and ends to finish up.

So, less than 3 days before the next group build starts. Cleared my bench of the T-55 AMV build (now complete final photos to come) before heading away. Back home on the 1st and will be sans family as I'm on call. If it's quiet I should get a running start! :D

I'll set up the sub-forums later today so everyone can jump right in on Sunday morning. If anyone is still able to :lol:

Thanks for the sub-forums Philipp even if I'm, for one, sure that I won't start Sunday :lol:

I finally made up my mind for the Panzershop resin kit of the Czech PRAM self-propelled 120mm mortar based on an extended BMP hull. It is not perfect but I'd hate seeing it released by Trumpeter before I finish it.
Or the other (more optimistic) way to see it is that as soon as I have completed it, it will be issued in plastic for the benefit of the whole community :lol:
