"The Hunters GB" (2/1/08 to 6/1/08)

Modeling Subjects Armor

This idea took off pretty quickly and since I was leaning to my Johann Huber Jagdpanzer IV…[:-^], why not.

Some ideas: M-10, M-18, M-36, Panzerjaeger I, Marder II, Marder III/H/M, Dicker Max, Sturer Emil, Nashorn, Hornisse, Jagdpanzer IV, Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger, Hetzer, StuG F/G, E-10/20, SU-76, SU-85/100, ISU-122, Archer, Achilles, 251/22 & 234/4 with long-barreled 75mm

As usual with me, no rules, only guidelines:

  • Any non-MBT vehicle that was designed to be a tank-killer

  • Any scale

  • Any and all AM or scratchbuilding

  • Builds must be new and unbuilt

  • Badge can only be claimed when finished model is shared

  • Have fun and please share!

Cheers

Excellent Mike. Let me know.

4

I haven’t even seen the badge yet and I’m fired up! Hehehehhe. [:D]

Tigerman - will have to search through the stash-closet, will let you know as soon as I do what route I’ll be going down…I think for me this might be one of the best parts of a GB - getting to root through all of those shiny boxes, peruse interesting contents, get excited all over again about that kit I bought however many months ago! [;)]

5

Hi Eric i have a few TD’s in the pile to do so i would love to take part, i have a Tamiya marder III with some upgrades that may fit the bill perfectly, count me in sir.

6

I have quite a few that would suit, including Tamiya Su 85 and Su 122. StuG III - hunter or IG? I lean towards hunter for F/G. Comments?

7

GAH!!![:O] You actually did it!! And I said I couldn’t resist [sigh]!!

hehe! No worries Eric, I’m in…glad we have 4 months for this one! Put me down for the Italeri Jagdpanzer IV, but I won’t be able to start until at least March or maybe even April! I better get my [censored] in gear or else I’m[xx(]…

8

Crossovers allowed? I have a yet-unstarted Otto Carius Jagdtiger to do for Panzer Aces…

If not, Jagdpanther Late version.

I also have a badge idea coming…

9

Sign me up Tigerman, although I’m not sure what to plan on yet. Got the Marder III H and the Hummel in the stash, and working on the Tiger I for another GB in progress.

But sign me up, good idea on this GB by the way!

Dale

10

Any of the Long-barreled StuGs like the F/G would be appropriate. Glad to have you all aboard. Let me know your choices.

11

Sorry the Hummel doesn’t qualify. Looks as if the Marder is all that’s going to work.

12

Im in with Tamiya’s Jagdpanzer IV L/70! Been wanting to build this one for a while.

(even though I’m not done with my Kursk F/8 yet but I swear it will be done by the end of this week!!!)

13

Hmmm, that wouldn’t be fair, sorry. I like the Jagdpanther though. Tamiya or Dragon?

14

Busted! LOL

15

I know I know Eric, but I swear, she is all painted up, roadwheels are done, tracks are cleaned up and are being built as we speak. Dry’s will be going on tomorrow and then some weathering and by Wed., Thurs. she is done, I swear it!!![:-^]

16

Well after a look through the stash, I won’t be able to do the Jagdpanther without breaking my no-more-kits-in-2008 rule. So I’ll be doing the Dragon 1/35 Panzer IV/L70 Zwischenlosung - and yes, that is a tank destroyer[;)]

It was the direct predecessor of the Jagdpanzer IV/L70 despite its designation as a Panzer.

17

Count me in with the Tamiya Marder III M. I promise I’ll get it done in this GB time frame. [:)]

18

Although the tempation is there to do the Dragon 1:72 Jagdpanzer (Late), I think the SU-100 is the preferred choice. It will look good next the the Sturer Emil.

Cheers

Mike

19

Is this a Dragon kit as well? Why not both? [}:)]

20

Now don’t tempt me [:)] But I reckon I will go with the SU-100 at this stage. If there is time, then the Jagdpanzer will get a airing on the workbench.

So many tank destroyers, so little time!

Cheers

Mike
