Half track GB suggestion.

[Gern]

Does anyone fancy a half-track group build? I don't remember seeing one before (with my memory though, that doesn't mean a lot!) and there's plenty of choices available. Because I know open suggestions like this could lead to questions like: Would a Kettenkrad count? What about a Mk 1 WWI tank with the steering wheels at the back?; I'd restrict it to the typical layout of tracks at the back and two wheels at the front.

I was thinking any scale/nationality/era to start July 1 and run for three months. Although if some fancy a big FAMO build, the time could be extended.

Gern I’m in. I have a few of them to choose from.

I could be in depending my bench time. I have a 70s Tamiya haftrack in the stash.

I have a 1/87 WSW Sd Kfz 10 not started yet.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

I've got several of 1/35 ones in the stash, always liked the look of half tracks.......
..... I'd definitely be up for a GB

I’ve got an Sd.Kfz. 251 I’ve been wanting to build, but I got a little sidetracked by an unexpected tank recovery vehicle … Depending on how long this will run, I could join in.

Just curious Jakko what scale is it?

Been coerced into three wingy thing GBs - but, as I love 'em, I'm up for this! (Just means I'll have to get my finger out my a..e and crack on at the bench!)

I think you can do it. I’m not sure about my GB suggestion if it will go but I’m hoping it will since I extended the build dates. I hope this one does the more I think about it the more Half Tracks I’m finding in my stash

It's 'Three Greens' then Lee - and sorry for my poor pun earlier - I really hit the bottom with that!

[Lee Drennen]

Three Greens' then Lee

Yeah I’m hoping some will step up and support him and I want to build one also. Lol

Sorry Dave. Too many other commitments to say yes to this. For once I do actually have something in the stash that would suit, and may join in later, but can’t commit to it up front

Hi Dave
A good subject for a GB and I do have a kit that has sat unopened for too long. However 3 summer months, less bench time when the weather is fine, and other commitments mean I've no chance of completing on time. If the time could be extended or the GB could be much later in the year I would be happy to join in.

[Gern]

Thanks for all the replies guys. It seems many are already over committed with other stuff so what about a September 1 start to run until December 1?

 

[Allen Dewire]

Sounds like a winner Dave. I'm lousy at finishing GB's, but I got about 18 half track kits in the stash that need to be built in this lifetime! A September start will give me time to finish the Mossie GB (if I'm lucky) and then start your GB........

Prost
Allen

 

[Tim Marlow]

Same for me. I have an Skdfz 253 in the stash that needs building…..so should be able to join around October…..also depending upon the mosquito build….

 

[Lee Drennen]

September-December is fine with me

 

[Wookie2486]

Dave I have never been apart of a GB and I have a couple of half tracks so that sounds good to me, it's a shame I didn't wait to build my kettenkrad.

[Gern]

OK. That's five down, five to go. Any more for any more?

 

[Jim R]

September to December suits me so with those dates I'm in.
