SoftScience Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Well dang.... One of the problems with the long wait time between group build announcement and start times, is that the fickle amongst us (me) have very rapidly shifting interests. I'll see if I can drum up any enthusiasm within myself, over the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix I'll probaty play along. Looking through my pile of models i found StuG Fs in both 1/35 and 1/48. I also have a B, but it's well over the 25% built cutoff. Maybe i'll pick up something more interesting before February. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So easily led astray....dam'd colonials! It also has the most peculiar figure I've yet seen in any kit.... Something nice a out a brand new kit though.! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sardaukar Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hello, as a newbie around here i'd like to get involved, can you add me? I have a dragon panzer iii and an UM stug in 1/72 in the stash, one of which I may build and enter or buy something else entirely. One question for those in the know as I didn't see it on the list but is flakpanzer III ostwind a real thing? Or just made up by the folks at Revell. I came across this while looking for panzer iii based kits. https://www.revell.de/en/products/modelmaking/military/vehicles-wwii/flakpanzer-iii-ostwind-3-7-cm-flak-43.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f matthews Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I’m not quite sure how Group Builds go (so you do your own “Work In Progress” thread or is there one massive thread for everybody?), but I’m keen to build this one that has been in my stash forever. I’ve wanted to build one of these since the early 1990s when I first got the Squadron “Panzer Colors” series and one of these was on one of the covers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi and welcome, all you need to do to join a GB is, when the GB opens, start a new build thread with an appropriate title, you run your thread with other members posting questions, giving compliments or answering questions. When you update your thread, it goes to the top of the GB list so that anyone interested can see there has been new content. Don't worry, it's all straight forward and there are lots of helpful people on here should you need it. Hope this is helpful, just have a look at some ongoing GB's to get the idea. Look forward to seeing your build in just over a week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi and welcome, well I had never heard of one, I knew that Panzer III chassis were all needed for conversion to Stug III but I thought I'd check on some other sites. They confirm that there never were any Panzer III Ostwind, so it looks like Revell have just decided to invent it, the real ones were all built on the Panzer IV chassis. But if you want to build one, go for it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
