Choice A Ex JB Models GB. This would feature only Airfix boxings of kits previously released by JB Models, so any of the kits currently now available from Airfix could be built but no JB boxings.

Choice B The post WW2 build. This would feature the Centurion, Sheridan, Scorpion, Chieftan, Bloodhound and Leopard as well as most of the former JB range now boxed by Airfix. Also included would be the 1/35th scale Challenger MBT (formerly a Trumpeter kit, thanks David

). And of course many of the WW2 tanks/vehicles/guns kitted by Airfix saw service with various nations well past 1945 so these could also be included in their post war guises.

Choice C The Land Rover build. Once again this would feature many of the former JB Models kits (Airfix boxings only) as well as the vehicle from the Bloodhound set. I am sure that Airfix also had a Land Rover kit in something like 1/40th scale and then there is the Shaun the Sheep vehicle. Remember though that this is a Military Vehicle Build so Shaun would have to join up to qualify

Choice D Airfix Lee/Grant build. This was a popular choice in the last polls and has been entered here by popular demand. The build could be of any Airfix kit of this tank, 1/76th or 1/32nd scale.

The poll will run for seven days

The booths are now open

Cheers

Stu

Well done chaps, I like to see people sticking to their guns, or should that be Land Rovers ...or perhaps tanks or maybe ........

Cheers

If that includes the 7 days war (cite me on that not sure of it's exact name but it was israel v everyone round it) for post '45 then I could do a stug III as i'm pretty sure they used those.

It would certainly include the 6 Day War during which StuG IIIs were used by Syria, some being captured by the Israelis, so it would be a viable subject should the Post WW2 option come out tops.

Cheers

Right well if I get my hands on another Stug III then I could do one as six days war and the stashed one will be my road to berlin rebuild.
That settles that issue

As much as I'd like to have voted for the Lee/Grant I cast my pebble for the Landrover

Count me in for either an ex-JB or Land Rover GB. I voted ex-JB just to keep the options wide

All the best

Gawd I hope not!

I was toying with picking up the 'Shaun The Sheep Landrover' to do something a bit different.....Until I saw the price!

I've not long ago traded or given away almost the entire postwar JB range and I'll be damned if I'm buying them again.....My tastes just don't extend to even slightly modern vehicles any more.

Further, I don't have an Airfix M3 in either scale, so it really doesn't make much difference to me which one wins.....I ain't gonna be in it!

All the best

Oh Lordy, this Poll is close! I wonder what the results would be if the choices were: Ex JB models Post WWII Landrovers verses the Lee/Grant?

Don't worry folks, in the age old tradition I am saving my vote to use in case all categories come out even. It is good to see that all of the suggested builds have attained the minimum number of votes to make them viable whatever the result I am sure that we will be revisiting some of these subjects.

Cheers
