 Posted: Mon 26 Mar 2007 13:42 pm Post subject: Military Vehicle Group Builds |
 |
|
With the Willys Jeep Group Build coming to a close mid April it is time to start thinking about some ideas for future Military Vehicle builds and hopefully to go a little way to levelling the playing field with all those existing aircraft builds and planned nautical builds.
I note that Hawk has suggested an Airfix Sherman tank build, I would be up for this as I have a few dotted around awaiting some glue. Although the kit has many faults I feel that as one of the early Airfix tank kits it would make a fitting inaugural Military Vehicle build.
Of course there are many other Military Vehicle kits to choose from, over the years Airfix have produced kits in scales ranging from 1/76 up to 1/32 and covering all sorts of subjects, Tanks, Ambulances, Missiles and even a Double Decker bus as used by the Army during WW1.
So, all suggestions are welcome and remember that Airfix have also released kits that have been produced by other manufacturers as well, these too are eligible as subjects for Group Builds.
I will be proposing a few builds myself later and may even volunteer to lead one or two   , but for now I am looking forward to your input so please post any ideas in the future group builds thread.
Cheers

If Airfix Re-Release the 1/32 "Monty's Humber' Kit, I'd like to do a GB of that.
