Guys, this will be my planned build:

The ICM T34/85 from their Battle of Berlin set....



And I'll be hoping to replace the horrible ICM rubber band tracks with these:


Hope that's ok with Dave also building an ICM T34.....

Just wondering what my dear friend Bob the Stug is going to do, will he force himself to enter and bathe in the elixir 4BO .:smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::smiling3::nerd: Can't wait for this .

Guys after thinking it over I might be changing my mind on what Tank and Scale to build Stay Tuned.

Hi Group Builders, Here's what I'm looking at for my entry........I tore one down so's not to be disqualified for starting with a completed model. If it's alright I think I'll build two of these at the same time, sort of a group-group build. Both are identical even though the boxing is different. I thought it might be fun to do one as a Rooskie version and the other as a captured one in Kraut service......

Great choice Lee ,I built the Hobbyboss 1/48 version when I first started back in the hobby ,dont know why 1/48 is treated like a poor relative I think perhaps the reason I don't go there is more to do with subject matter than the kits themselves (same old same old ie III IV T's KV'S sorry Bob stugs). Me I'm keeping my powder dry till closer the time I've a few bits coming over on the extremely slow Polish postal system wich might make the starting line(don't hold breath) if not there's always the stash but that usually means na don't fancy that ill buy something. Dave

Thanks Dave I’ve looked at the Hobby Boss kit many times I like the Artwork but I seen this one and knew it probably would build easier. 1/48 has always treated me great yeah there’s less subjects but what I like I can see and handle them better and I can put a Aircraft with it also if desired.
