PlaStix Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Hi Marklo. Please sign me up for this possible STGB. I've been impressed by this tank for a while and have made a couple. This was my most recent: I have a few possible candidates in the stash. Kind regards, Stix 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Actually, the Czech is the pre- as in prior to the panzer numbering, but whatever grabs attention is fair in this long game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Post' works well in the sense of the posts we make here May I suggest getting your page count up. That seems to attract a lot of attention. We should look for inspirational pics of the tank in action maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Here's a link to the new Bronco LT 35 advertised in Modelling News. In the CAD drawings it looks fabulous and there are a lot of in-service photographs there too. I'm dead excited now! https://www.themodellingnews.com/2016/11/bronco-are-supporting-axis-preview.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that mean the Swedish, Swiss, Romanian, and any other foreign built derivatives are allowed? Edited March 19, 2022 by Rob S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see why not the two Skoda chassis are the linking theme of the GB proposal. The more varied the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Wow I didn’t even know there were post war variants, one of those side by side with a Hetzer or a Marder would look brilliant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Eater Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Sweden also produced several assault/tank destroyers based on the 38(t) chassis, shame none of them have been released in plastic. Post-war they even designed a modernized version of the 38(t) with sloping armour, a large scale model was built be it was canceled in favor or newer & larger tanks.

Marklo Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 C'mon guys this is a rich vein of AFV goodness and would be such a good GB, if we can do forty shades of olive drab( I'm referring to the M3/M4GB) surely we can get this one past the post!!!!

blimp Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Thank ye kindly young sir 🙂 - Apart from modified 1/16 Hetzer tracks/sprockets/idlers and stuff like clasps , Masterclub fasteners , Noteks and wire cutters it's old school scratchbuilt . I don't have a lot of W.I.P. pic's anymore , but maybe I. can find enough to do a synopsis build sometime . Anyhoo , I have a PANDA 38t kit somewheres - So I can feel another SPG is brewing . . .

Marklo Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) I have decided, if this gets off the ground I’ll scratch build a 1/24 Hetzer as my build, so there you go I’ve thrown down the gauntlet …… At 6.38m it’s only around 10 inches in 1/24 so it’ll be a nice companion for my Renault FT, which as you can see is still very much a work in progress, Edited June 14, 2022 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Blueprint scaled to 1/24 fits nicely to an A4 page (or A3 for the full print) which is a nice size. GB or no GB I'm going to build one, probably resin cast the roadwheels, suspension and the track in sections from scratch built masters. Which might mean we could see a few family members as well, possibly for the GB (if it goes ahead) @Enzo Matrix a question does this class as a GB or an STGB?

Marklo Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Having no patience I’ve decided to start a Hetzer anyway. I’ll just have to build a Marder or a self propelled gun for the GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
