GREG DESTEC Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 8 minutes ago, PlaStix said: Hi Greg. Hope you are well. Great to see you here. Yes it’s a shame the Leopard STGB didn’t get through the voting. I was really looking forward to that one too. I'm still going to build the Leopard I was going to build, as, as it happens, it’s a Canadian Leopard - so I’m going to now build it in the Japanese Canadian GB. I will add you to the list in the first post. If you know what kit you think you’ll make, please let me know and I’ll add it to the list too. Kind regards, Stix Hi Stix it's the 1/35 Italieri Fury edition M4AE8. Which I got purely because of the movie. It's been in the stash for ages so be good to build it at last. Cheers Greg 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want me to add you to the list or wait until you decide to get a kit? Kind regards, Stix I think I might sit this one out Stix. My stash of Panzer I,II,III is getting a bit silly, I can't keep being tempted by something new. I only bought the Lee because the radial engine looks so lovely (or at least it did when ModelMate built it!). I'll follow the GB though, particularly Bertie's build of a wrecked Lee with the full interior on show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelKrypton Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I was hoping this group build would make it through the voting, it had my vote. I hadn't indicated my interest in the group build when it was proposed as it kind of just slipped past without me noticing. I am thinking I would like to join in and at the moment thinking something of an M3. The dates have been duly noted on my calendar so that I don't forget. cheers, Graham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said lets just swap, but the shipping cost is probably more that the model is worth! There again, I could just buy an Aussie one as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Having a good look at mine and the Aussie version, I can pretty well build it from the box, just need to modify the turret hatches slightly. The scary part there are nearly 70 bits of sprue (ok 69 ) in this model!!! Yea gods!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix I actually meant that I wouldn’t want to build two Minicraft Lees in a single lifetime. I still have the M10 on my list to give me an easier kit when I’m needing a break from the Lee. Have a little faith, Stix. I don’t need to be rescued from my impulses just yet. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Stix, while I have a load of M4 kits I only have one M3, the Takom kit I bought to build a Russian lend lease machine or as the Russian tankers called a coffin for 7 brothers! My usual problem with a GB is getting carried away and building several models and finishing none, so with only one M3 in the stash I cannot fall into that trap, can I? Please put me down for a Russian M3, no more, just one and definitely no M4's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I said earlier that I'll be building an Asuka kit of a British Firefly ... the kit arrived today Couldn't resist looking inside the box, found two of these. Talk about stereotyping ... anybody for a brew? 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKrypton Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 One of interesting side effects of the group build voting and scheduling is that it is too easy to get caught up in the proceedings and become overly excited in your favourite pending group build to the point that interest in any current project risks being lost. So it is that I find myself with this M3 / M4 group build. I had posted earlier that was thinking something M3 and it looks like that is the direction I will proceed, something M3 but M3 without any main armament; think ARV or similar. Now that I have a better defined plan I think I can put aside for now my excitement for this group build and get back to something already on the go but I will leave you with links to some videos to whet your appetite: Onward and upward! cheers, Graham 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 If I can find one of the Trumpeter M4 kits on 1/72nd scale I'll join in. I don't want to delve into the 1/35th world as this way lies madness. And a lot of excellent kits too. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
