Well, with no prospect of actually starting this for several weeks, this at best is a flag in the sand.
With the T-72, Otter and Chieftain all set to be finished off, I have my hands full. Either way, here's the manifesto.
These have all been collected over several years, and I've wanted to build the Nebelwerfer for a considerable time.
My enthusiasm was further wetted by these very fine people at
"Panzerart" releasing this, though it's yet to hit the shops
http://panzerart.pl/index.php/welcome/produkt/379
And some inspiration pics which I always need...
I find the last particularly evocative.
And a suitable reference...
I'll likely have a scene with the crew loading rockets into the vehicle, so as to actually show off the rockets. I've just received
Peddinghaus decals for the Rocket Stencils
Lat time I looked several years back no-one did them and I contemplated printing some of my own. So that wait was definitely worth while
More soon
Rob

You're definitely off to a good start
Should be a really nice project, though the Nebelwerfer with its 90% photoetch parts terrifies me

This will interesting to follow, maybe I should build one of my old Italeri Nebelwerfer for comparision, I have a ton of those because my favourite online shop re-issued the kit for 5€ and I have used it to round out orders
.
I'll be following this build
!
Best regards

Nice choices Rob
Didn't Vinnie build the Nebelwerfer from Lion?
You do have a full bench at the moment

Steve - he certainly did. I'll doubt I'll do mine as much justice. It's the only time I can recall seeing one built.

Raoul - Go for it- the Italeri offerings seem hard to come by nowadays

You know how I feel about Half Tracks.
I can't wait till you have a chance to get it started.

A splendid choice sir! And a fabulous array of details
Hopefully Bronco have picked up the Nebels. too and they become more widely available again.

Rob, nice choices, I built the 11 before and it's a nice kit. So, you don't need that Panzerart tarp as your doing that blown one from the reference pics you posted, right?
Almost forgot, nice load of aftermarket there.....wow!
