New Group Build Discussion.

What do you mean by support ? Light vehicules ? Like Half tracks, M5A1 and the like ?

This includes all jeeps, cars, trucks, ambulances, motorcycles, etc. Everything that does not shoot but is necessary on the battlefield.

OK because you also have support tanks

[Ecam]

Agreed. The M31/M32, M7 Priest, Stuarts, 105 Sherman plus others would be included on the allied side. Trucks, half tracks, flack things and pretty much anything wheeled or towed would be included as support. Aircraft, trains, landing craft and so forth.

Welcome aboard! The More the Merrier. The spirit of the group build is friendly, like minded hobbyists getting together with similar theme goals. Working and sharing ideas, techniques and progress. It is Not a competition. Purely for Fun.

Is it a Heng Long? Will be a fresh out of the box or similar or are you planing to redo, refinish it? I did a Jagdpanther last Spring but since have learned so much more that I'd incorporate if I did one again.


Check the forum out. There are several excellent Jagdpanther builds here on the forum. One that comes to mind immediately was done by member "Painlesswolf". It's worth a look if not a study.

Group builds, as you know, are still going on for another month and a half, I hope there will be some more entries.

It's time to discuss the challenge for next year. My suggestions:

1) [Jungle] - after Winter and Desert, it's time for a tropical climate.

2) [Cold War] - post-war vehicles of the Warsaw Pact, NATO and "non-aligned".

[Meter rat]

I’m in.
Cold War for me.
Is the Cold War category anything between 1945 and 1991?

[Herr Dr. Professor]

Kaczor suggests:

"1) [Jungle] - after Winter and Desert, it's time for a tropical climate.
"2) [Cold War] - post-war vehicles of the Warsaw Pact, NATO and 'non-aligned' "

These are both interesting categories. Offhand, "Jungle" might make for somewhat slim pickin's among the RTR AFVs to modify and/or upgrade. "Cold War" would open it up to lots of UK from Haya and TongDe. Of course, 3D printing would provide a broad range of possibilities.
