Now that would be nice Ernest.

Which thread have you just seen?

42

DOH! [:(DD] I THOUGHT I was bouncing back and forth between this forum and the GB forum, but it turns out I had two pages with the Armor forum on it! What I saw was actually this same thread…oops!

As for the Pershing…I really do need more U.S. armor on my shelf and I’ve already got a couple of Shermans there, so the Pershing would be a great choice as I already have the kit in the stash!

43

O, I know that feeling Ernest. There’s been a couple of times I have put build progress in the wrong GB. Once in a GB I wasn’t even in.

I blame it on all the glue and paint fumes.

44

i remember that bish

FINE another GB. ok i will build the perless max CHEVY 15CWT 4x4 in canadian markings here instead of 1944. if gunner chris does another canadian GB i will do modern HUSKY 6x6 arv.and i will do something else for the 1944. not like i don’t have a lot of choices.

oh and i too have a tamiya late model PZ-IV. always liked them

45

I think it will be a while before I forget that.

Nice to see another GB addict on board, plenty of time for this one though wayne.

46

I’ve got about 19 Shermans in the stash and a couple of Pershings, Sounds like something I’d be interested in, plus I’ve been without a Sherman build in progress for a couple of months now, and I’ve been wanting to do the Hobbyboss Super Pershing in the stash. Hmmm…

47

Will be good to have you RB, looks like we will have a nice balance between the two GB’;s.

48

Just been finalising a few things with eagle. The GB threads for this will be going up this weekend.

For those who may be interested but are involved in any of the 3 other armour GB’s, keep in mind that this one will run until May of next year, so plenty of time for all the heavy metal.

49

BISH looks like I can fit the time bracket so count me in. At this point I’m thinking DRAGON M4 SHERMAN WITH 60 pound rockets and TAMIYA MID WAR TIGER 1.

50

BISH. Both builds would be 1/35

51

Bish you just keep making offers that I can’t refuse in GBs…

52

This looks like it would be fun. I have several kits in my stash that I could use…but how to narrow it down…

53

BD, sounds like your going to be busy.

Stik, I try my best. [:)]

Bob, careful, you might get hooked.

54

Bish, can you sign me up for a Firefly and a Brummbar.

55

No worries. Just give us the kit details, and we can add you to the rosters. If anyone else wants to put in their builds before we put the threads up, just post them here.

56

Ooh a Firefly AND a Brummbär? Two very nice looking vehicles!

I still have to decide on what I want to build… Here’s what I could see myself building for this one:

  • M4A3E8 (old Dragon)

  • M4A3E8 (Tasca)

  • M4A3 105mm w/ HVSS suspension (Dragon)

  • King Tiger Henschel (Tamiya)

  • King Tiger Henschel (Dragon)

  • King tiger Porsche w/ Zimmerit (Dragon)

  • Pz. IV Ausf.J (Dragon)

  • Panther w/ Zimmerit (Dragon)

I’ll just let you decide on what tanks I’m going to build [;)] Only one pick each for Axis and Allies though…

57

Bish here they are:

Dragon Firefly 1c in 1/35

Dragon Stu.Pz IV Brummbar in 1/35

58

I am gonna do a Sherman Jumbo using the Tamiya kit and some various upgrades: new barrel, tracks, tranny cover, roadwheels… Based off of this photo of 3rd Armored Division in Koln

59

Stik, that Jumbo will build really nice.

SS, the King Tiger or Panther w/ Zim are real beasts and the E8 from Tasca is hard to beat.

One of these days I’ll get to a Tasca A4 just to try those resin bogies, but I just can’t get away from the GB’s.

This front page is going to be awesome.

You always here about how SHERMAN wasn’t a threat to the Landers but those jumbo SHERMAN look deadly with the long barrels are they 76mm. ?
