World at War 1939-1940 Group Build

Bish thanks, this is one of those I’m really looking forward to. I’ve wanted to do the regular Panzer I but this command version comes with 4 figures and an array of radios. Cool. So tell me you’re going to do a crash landed glider in a field, that would be awesome…

Sounds like it come with some nice bits and pieces. I think Dragon go a couple of Pz I command version kits, but this sounds like the one to get.

Its not exactly in a field, its on the roof of a Belgium fortress. IMHO, its one of the most daring assaults in WW2, but I think its largely unknown.

I have a new kit of the Tamia German Machine Gun Crew kit #35184 if anybody want’s it for their build. Just let me know and It’s on it’s way. free shipping and all.

I stink bad at figures (that’s why all my armor is humanless) and I really hate to see it just lying around.

No strings

First come, first served.

By the way GreySnake, I’d LOVE to build a Char B1 Bis. Just a little to pricy for my budget at this time.

Hope this is isn’t forboden. Please forgive if it is.

Steve

No problems here, Steve.

checkmate, thanks for adding me to the group! Looking forward to building this guy, since you don’t see a lot of French armor.

Steve, No kidding on the Char being rather pricey! Its the second most expensive kit in my stash. I don’t know if you ever browse ebay but sometimes they can be had for under $40.

It must be a monster, Wayne. And with our without tracks–either one is fine.

Thanks for posting that, Steve. The last Japanese tank I built was from Aurora in the 1960’s. They had a line of armor in 1/48 scale. Came with nifty figures.

ah you misunderstood grasshopper. the T-35 is tracked only and it is huge.

I am illuminated by the Master!

Very huge.

Wow, I didn’t even know such a tank existed! I’m interested in this GB, but I don’t know if I can commit yet

That is a behemoth! The little car could use it for a garage.

Yea, and that’s not even a little car, it’s a sedan!

Then there’s nothing compact about either one of them. There’ll be some “sticker shock” at the pump.

That’s going to be a big model. Can’t wait to see Waynec build it.

Funny thing is, for all the size of the T-35, it only weighed the same as a Panther.

Really nice choice Wayne.
