You mean the Provisional Sub-Assistant Archivist 4th grade of the Frankfurt Jewish Museum who stumbled into his job more or less by lucky accident with the absolutely best qualification imaginable? :lol:

Concerning the ludicrously expensive Dragon Panthers, under special circumstances it might be permissible to switch to a different kit of similar style...or just pick the ICM Panther D you've also built :P

Well, might be an option, though I still tend to favour the items I have already lying around here, reduces the stash... even if only by minor degrees...let's just wait and see. ;)

And yes, I meant that bloke! :lol:

How about April 1st until June 30?
Settled. ;)

HobbyEasy came back with half the stuff I want “on back order” so am changing gears. The Tamiya KV-2 is a kit in need of some love, so basic I threw it together one wet weekend when I was at boarding school and painted with Humbrol enamels. Not sure what happened to it but recently bought one for the stash so it’s all on again!

I'm all set to start on 1.4.2018;

The kit is very simplified, so I've gone for a Royal Models detail set (fenders, grills and a few minor details), Master Club white metal tracks and a turned gun barrel. Everything else will be provided by my spares box or scratch built :?

I am assuming that Royal Models bought up all of the Verlinden stuff when they folded as the packaging, instructions and overall feel of the products from them are very familiar.....

Very nice choice, can't go wrong with a KV :D

I've set up a forum here:

Back to the Roots!

I also took the liberty of exending the deadline to July 31st. I think we need it :lol:

Agree with a 4mth time frame, would be nice to get a couple of builds off the bench before starting another! :D
