To keep all these big cats in one place, as we don't want them mauling any of the builds from other areas. Joking aside, that gives me an idea! How about an inter-forum GB PUNCH-UP? .AFVs vs Aircraft..... Tiger tanks vs Tiger Moths? Flame-throwing Tanks vs Spitfires? Wirbelwinds/flakpanzers vs Hurricanes, typhoons, tempests etc... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this STGB gets enough signups (and I'm sure it will) can we make sure it doesn’t overlap with the Pz.IV STGB? It would be a shame to have both AFV GBs on at the same time.

stevehnz Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 A conditional yes from me, I have a couple of Airfix kits in stock, one of which is to wear a resin Henschel(?) turret. So depending on the when & the state of my GB mojo, I'd be keen. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe give it a month or so for the dust to settle and go for a start date toward the end of April 2019. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely any combination of the above, as a late war refitted tiger had a mixed bag of parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparts, you get 3 months to build what ever you desire. There is also a 25% rule depending on how much extra detail you wish to add, meaning you can start the kit prior to the start date as long as the build is 25% complete.

They also stick down nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I'm in, I've got a bagged cheap Airfix Tiger kit - after getting the Haynes manual. Currently residing in a box with an 88mm flak gun - so that I can find it when the time comes. I'm told that somewhere on Britmodeller is a reference to an improved build of this kit.
