[:D][:D] I’m still waiting for them to get another one in at the shop too [:(]
And I know what you’re thinking, the same thing I am and that means you can help me with those corrections on the M35 [;)]

ESCI also made a Nebelwerfer in 1/35… might be able to find one on ebay. Going with Robert’s idea… maybe a captured one by a Stuart… I have an ESCI Nebelwhatsit kit in the basement… count me in! I’ll see what else I have loitering about…

Gee since the Eric’s, Max and myself are building the Pak 43/41, maybe we ought to have our own build. LOL Seriously, this is a nice change of pace. Didn’t someone have a review of this when it came out?
hmmmmmmmmm what to do what to do?
Maybe Tamiya’s halftrack towing a pak 38/40 or just the gun
hmmmmmmmmm
so many choices[%-)][%-)]

As soon as get some money I’ll probably do some neblwerfers (those things are so cool) with the halftrack that brought them there, possibly a Dio
heres another review of the Pak 43/41 http://pmms.webace.com.au/reviews/vehicles/afvclub/afv35059.htm
Count me in.
I’ve got to see what I’ve got on the shelf though!
Looks pretty cool. Alot of little parts. Is anyone coming out with a new Pak 40?
Have fun with this group build guys.

If I do a towed AA gun the that qualifies me to the AA Gun Group Build, too.
Hmmmmmm. Ideas, ideas.
are we allowed to add helicopters for the form of transport ? i was thinking of having my M198 haning from the bottom of a chinhook about to land …
I would love to see the Chinook/M198!!
I have picked mine. Trying to be original without leaving my WW2/1:35 comfort zone, I am going to do a vignette showing a Fallschirmjager attempting to tow a 7.5CM LEIGHTGESCHUTZE 40 with a bicycle! Unless I discover through research that it would be completely ludicrous, in which case I may switch to a stolen motorcycle.
[:D]
I just hope I can make it work like I picture it…
Absatively, as long as you actually do the gun it’s pulling [:)]. After all, M35 was a prime mover, not an AFV. A great companion for an 8" gun! (Which I think AFV Club makes.)
Envelope pushing! [:p] What do other people think? I am cool with it. This is just my suggestion, but it’s the group’s build.
Let him do it! Will be a fantastic model!
Will definately make for a good display, I say go for it!
Sounds good! I’m glad you guys agree with me.
I am thinking very seriously about AFV Club’s 8" howitzer plus a prime mover big enough to tow it, which might be a challenge. Despite what AFV Club says, the M35 didn’t generally tow the 8" howitzer around – a big truck was used instead.
Anyone built the AFV Club 8" howitzer or the Long Tom? Some people say they are great kits, others gripe about fit.
I went by Hob-Lob last night and picked up a Pak 40. I ain’t doing no PE on this one. The only detailing will be scratchbuilt. I can’t see paying 19 bucks for a pe set for a 8$ kit. So I’m going ol’school on this one. I already have the chevrolet gun tractor in the cabinet. So I’m all ready… Waiting patiently…
PS I read somewhere that the M26 was used to tow heavy arty some times… That would be cute…[:D]
i can’t wait to see that when built!!![:0][:0][:0][8D]
good to see we now have official sticky status by the way; thank you to “the powers that be”![:D]
i think i’ll do Sd.Kfz 251/1d (tamiya) towing an old tamiya pak 40…Sd.Kfz 7 and a big 88mm is a bit too ambitious for me at the moment[V]
