Hi Friends,
I just floated a proposal over at Armorama for a Tank Hunters Campaign. Here is a copy-and-paste of the original text:

Hi Everyone,
There was a StuG Campaign that ended in Feb. 2015, but nothing too recent Tank Hunter related...there was Marder Madness in 2014, as well.

Proposed kit could include purpose built tank hunter with high velocity gun, i.e., no short barrelled StuG's, or regular artillery. TOW's, anti-tank guns. BMP with Sagger. Bazooka teams, Berlin teenage girls with Panzerfaust, RPG toting irregulars. And finally aircraft with specifically anti-tank ordinance.

And I'm sure my less than extensive knowledge library left some possibilities out...

...but no regular tanks.

Anyone interested? I'm thinking maybe late 2016-2017.

Edit: I'm thinking shelf and hangar queens allowed as well.

Thanks for reading,

Gaz

Hi Gaz,

Funny that I started painting Aires interiors for the Ju 87 D/G a few days ago. I would like to contribute to this campaign depending if it goes ahead late this year, cause I got the itch to build the hasegawa Ju 87 G tank hunter fast

Cheers

Nice idea Gazza!
I remember, that there is a Hawker Typhoon somewhere in my stash. End of the year sounds good to me!

Hi guys,
The campaign actually starts on 1 September and goes through the end of April 2017. The main thread is over at Armorama campaigns.
http://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/248941&ord=&page=1

I'm sorry I haven't done as good a job of keeping this one as up-to-date.

I will see if I can get them linked.

My apologies,

Gaz

Hi Everyone!
Only one week to go! During this final week I will be preparing a data sheet which will have everyone's pertinent information for the campaign. That information will be posted on the front page of the official campaign thread.
