Please post when you’ve decided which kit you are going to build and I’ll update this post.

Here’s the GB Badge, I have no preference if you wish to use it now or wait until you are done. I would just ask that you download the image to your own server instead fo linking to site for the server. Thanks.

Tamiya Hetzer and M-10.

I would like to be part of this group build. I havn’t decided what kit I will be doing for sure, however I am leaning towards tamiyas KV-2. I will post when I have purchased the kit.

J West, welcome to the GB. I’ve added you to the list. The KV-2 would be a great build with its massive turret.

Tamyia StuG III Ausf.G (Sd.Kfz.142/1) (kit 32525)

First scale model in decades, first armor ever… Scared of the Zim! [:)]

Ken, welcome to the GB, FSM forum, and back to modeling. I have the same kit also, I built the Ausf B and thought that was a great kit. I like the side skirts that came with the Ausft G.

How are you planning to do the Zimmerit?

Frankly, I was hoping to do some research and find an example without the zim… Otherwise, I’m stalling until I get more of it built, hoping for someone to release a PE or resin kit… [:-^]

This build will also be my first work with an airbrush, so I’m doing the full-court newbie press!

Here’s a picture of one from a musem in France without Zim, I’ve seen some other sources onthe web also

Hauler & Lion’s roar makes PE for the short barrel version, but I think most of the stuff will fit on the G model. I used Lion’s roar PE for the B model, as it was one of the cheapest in relationship to what you got for your money. It even included a metal barrel. I got it through luckymodel from HK for about $10 US and I think they have free shipping for Lion’s roar & hauler stuff. Lion’s roar is made in China, so you get a much better deal from a HK source.

I think I’ll break out my Kubelboat right now. I’m sure that pictures will follow.

How about this for a GB?

Looks good to me. And sign me up for an M4 Sherman, early. Let me get to my stack and I’ll toss in another.

The badge looks great. A Tiger will always be an eye catcher.

picked up the KV-2. I am good to go. I have to hold off on starting till I get my current project done, but I should be rolling on this in a month or so. Looking forward to seeing what you guys turn out!

Welcome hkshooter. J West, kv-2 it is. I’ve updated the list, I’m impress some of you guys are planning to do 2 builds. I have the HobbyBoss t-34 with full interior I was planning to do for the armor interior GB, maybe I can fit it in 2 GBs!

Also great to see support for this scale, I would hate to see it go away.

Count me in on this one please…I’v been itching to do one of the Tamiya 1/48 kits and this GB will be a good excuse[:D]

I’ll be doing Tam’s VW Type 82E staff car for sure and perhap’s a Kubel.[tup]

Glyn, welcome to the GB. I’ve put you on the list.

Hi,

It’s ok for me (piwi974 not pin974 [party] ) . For me it will be M10 Tamiya.

Sorry about the misspelling piwi974 - correction made.

Waikong, can you put me down for this one.

Not sure what I’ll be building yet, possibly a Tamiya T-34.

I’ve got at least 2 more projects to complete before I start on this one.

Built the Tamiya Beetle last year and that was a breeze, so lookinh forwards to more 1/48 armour.
