ye olde airfix recon set,
The 222 to be built more or less as is
the kubel wagen to made as a wreck.
I'm making no apologies for the choice
but it is not one for the purist, however you
just cannae beat it.
Airfix are the pot-noodle of modelling and I mean
that in the best possible way.

Hey Bruce. Took the weekend to finish up that SWMBO list.  These photos are what I'm trying to make into a diorama;   I made a small one for my Grandfather with a Stuart Hony stopped and the guys out taking photos. It was only the first picture and since then I also found the second that shows the signs kept on going. This time I'll just be having a Bishop driving by.  Hope everyone gets a good start, Bob  |

(T.O.P - Totally off topic) Hey Bruce! How are you? Hope your doing well! On topic: I let you guys decide. Should I go for a pretty much standard SdKfz 250/3 Greif  or for a leFH18 gunpit with crew at ease?   |

Here is what I am going to be building for this campaign.  It will have to wait awhile before I start as I am still in the middle of another campaign and I dislike having more than one project going on at a time. I should be able to get started on this one by the middle to end of June. Thanks, HARV |

Randy, I have built that kit a few years ago, it's a very old kit, lack of details, decals were a mess, gun too. Only 2 good things I can remember, Tamyia fitting quality and very cheap... real cheap.
Hope you fun with it ! |

ony 2 sprues? a DML kit would have 3 times that. I guess if it's cheap though then you'd expect that.
hope you can make something good from it. |

Great to see this campaign of to a good start. I am in with a Pz. IV. ausf. E in desert colours or an Italian AB40/41. Just have a few other models to finish first. Ron, I think you should go for the leFH18. It would be interesting to see how that one turns out. Randy, nice choice. An oldie but a goodie. A good project if one has just been through PE and resin hell with another kit.  I am sure it will turn out nice. |

Thanks guys, This kit is one of the 104 kits that I acquired a few years back when I purchased a person's whole collection (see my first ever post). I figured that I just as well build it since I had it. I was surprised by the small amount of pieces when I opened it up. Anyway I figured it might turn out alright, we will see. I guess any lack of detail can be can be fixed by adding extra gear. Hopefully I will be able to start on it in a couple of weeks. Thanks again, HARV |

Hello Rob, Great looking kit and build. It looks like the one of them is carrying a MP-40. I do like the base, What did you use for the sand? The detailing looks great, Thanks for sharing and for the great Photo's. Thanks for participating in the Campaign. Cheers, Bruce |

Excellent build, Rob. The figures and the truck looks nice. The sign gives a good background and you can almost feel the heat and thirst. The only nickpick is that the figures and the truck kind of floats on the sand. I would expect that the truck and figures would sink in a little bit in the sand. Overall, a great diorama. Thanks for participating in the campaign. |

thats a lovely dio there. my one criticism is that there is a lot of empty space in the front corner which throws the scene off balance. perhaps you could add a little thorn bush or some scrubby grass just to lliven up that area. |

Bruce, I am just starting to paint a Pz II deployed in Africa, though the kit has been built before the campaign. Will this still qualify? Thanks -- Tat |

Hello Tat, With the model being built before the campaign started, But not painted. I am sorry, But it does not qualify for this campaign. You are not to start before the start date. You could submit it for the Model of the Month contest or for a Feature on your build. There is a lot of time before the end of this campaign, So you could do another model for the campaign. Again, I am sorry to say no. Cheers, Bruce |

Thanks Bruce, and no worries. Good that I've asked on that. Am a bit intimidated given the fantastic builds and paint jobs featured so I'll probably put it up for the Get the Job Done Again campain for now. Let me check what other DAK subjects I have and sign up later. Cheers -- Tat |
