Group Build II,Allied Tank Destroyers 1940-1945,Who's In?

Ah come on - I haven't built a model in over 6 years! Where's you sense of adventure Just remember that there are many shades of olive drab or dark green

 

Then you definately need to start building models again! Enter the contest!

 

This will be a perfect opportunity to build something Allied then. I usually feel that Allied AFVs are a little bit easier to do.

 

Hey PP.I sincereley believe you are the only modeller in the known universe that hasn't built a Sherman!C'mon,join the build,the more the merrier.I DARE YOU!!!!

 

ahem, he is not the only one, neither i, sorry and do not try to dare me on this one, i do not have any allied tanks at all!!!!

 

No allied models? Well then I double dare both of you!

 

LOL

Well well..here you go...
I must admit though, I have used two Shermans from Roel's Built-tanks stock for my " destroyed tanks" scenarios. That meant though, that I painted them in roughly the right colour scheme (roel didn't paint his tanks back then) and cut some parts off of them to make them look hit. If you want to see pictures, please let me know and I'll upload some.
But I think I cannot avoid accepting your dare... I'll be scouting for an allied TD then.
I guess.
*gulps*
:-?

 

That's the only thing my modellingwork is good for...

I will officially be helping PP find a model of an Allied TD, whether he takes part in the competition or not. That means, effectively, that he will.

 

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

 

PP & Roel;
Very good my friends!

ME262;
Don't make me double dog dare you.

 

even if you double dog dare me, i won't
never build an allied tanks since my childhood and do not plan to ruin my rep doing so!!,

BTW, sherman tank is ugo for me!!!

 

Then I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU!

See, now you have to do it.

 

but the answer is till : nein, nyet

 

My kit arrived yesterday!

It is a Russian company, and it has some etched brass parts and actual rubber for the rims of the bogies!

 

Hey Ricky.If your kit is a 1/72 SU-85,I built that kit too.I don't recall having any problems with it.

 

It is. I'm quite looking forward to it - plus I'll get a lot of 'spares' from it!

 

ooooh! That's cheating!

 

as noted before, cheat!!
specially coming from our admin.

 

Why is that cheating? The kit comes with lots of bits that you should not use, as it contains parts for a regular T-34. So I will get lots of spares.

I'm confused here guys... :-?

 

I'm looking forward to Thursday now...

by the way, what colour were Su-85's painted? The instructions say Humbrol 86, but all the Soviet tanks I have seen in museums etc are a very different shade of green to that.
