I’m not sure whether this would qualify or not, but what about a Hummel?I’m not certain they were used in the tank hunting role. Can anyone give some advice?
I thought Hummels, elefants, nashorns, etc… were considered tank destroyers… shall I add you to the list???
I believe the Hummel was actually a form of self-propelled artillery. That said, artillery could still kill a tank, so I am sure the definition could be stretched.

surely… have no problem with that.
Geoff,
Please put me down for a AFV Club 1/35 av35s07 M10 Tank Destroyer Late Production.
I will let you know the AM stuff later.
Thanks,
Ted
Let me know how that kit is. I was thinking of picking one up. I just got their Stuart M3 and Hellcat and they are really nice looking. Wished they would release a Stuart M5
Jason,
Here’s a review of the earler version, should be very similar.

In that case I’m in, with the Dragon Hummel
Thanks!
BTW, what is the official start and end time?
Ted- thanks. Oddly enough, I was just reading that very review last night. I was impressed with the Stuart I just recieved, so I went through all the other AVF Club models to see what they had. Looks like this one is added to the buy list
oksy zokissima, i added you. I was shooting for may 5th start (but it’s flexible) and I’m not too worried about setting a stop date yet cause I know a lot of folks (like myself) get sucked into multiple GB’s…
Group builds are like black holes- they suck you in and won’t let go
Well I guess I am going to be stuck in my first black hole. Count me in for (2) 1. 1/72 Sd.Kfz.162/1 Panzer IV/70 Hasegawa, and to make it tough on me 2. Sd.Kfz. 184 Elephant 1/72 trumpeter. There well make it a bunch of first First gb and german armor and 1/72 armor and 2 at once sounds like a real good challenge lol.
Grimace… welcome to the madhouse [#welcome]
Well, put me down for the Dragon Elefant right now. It may call my name before the build starts, so plans might change.
Hmmm…sounds good but I have just built the M-36 and the Nashorn so I will be focussing more on other subjects for the next months.
Good luck though to this GB.
dwight, if you change your mind let us know! we got a ways to go yet… (and I hear you may be the one to ask for assistance on how i make the badge)…[:D] but that is far away yet.
Just let me know if you need help on the badge. Anyway that’s still far away.
an exploding tank would be sweet!
May is a ways away yet, but I have a hummel early version, a jagdpanther early and an M110A2, if that counts… so whatever I havent built by then I will use for this build. Probably the panther since Im terrified of Zimmerit and need a reason to put it off!
rebel… i like the idea.
matt-alberta i will add you in as “undecided”
if any of you guys have ever built the old tamiya hunting tiger, give me some feedback on it… someone wants to sell me one and i’d use it for this build.
