WW2 Tank Destroyers/ Open Top AFV's

Hi all,

I thought that given that all sides used open topped AFV's/tank detroyers during WW2, this might make a good subject for a future group build. There are enough readily available kits on the market, so available options shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Any thoughts & suggestions?

Matt.
 
I would like this topic. It might help me get out of my "builders block" and get me back to being productive again.

I have about eight DML 250's/251's in the pile as well as at last count three AFV Club 251's because I love half tracks.

Don't be shocked if it turns up captured with big white stars on it though. ;)

Oh , I wasn't laughing about the validity of their allied use or existence , ........ I was laughing because I knew you'd do exactly that :laugh:
 
Now Ken and Glenn (geez even their names rhyme) if you two keep being cheeky I will send you both to the naughty halftrack :pp .

I thought you may have dug up a photomagraph of a Bulge captured US Halftrack at least :D .

Jenny :kiss:
 
Oh sure , ......... you can please some of the people half of the time but a bird in the hand cries over spilt milk with a penny for its thoughts ................ what ...........

Ooooohhhhh...

I gotcha' mang.

:D

Nice captured pics BTW, somewhere I have a handful saved, there's an M3 halftrack with two wurfrahmen-eminemingtanshutzen frames on the side, I think there's two different pictures of it, it's pretty well known so I'm sure you've seen it a billion times.

ok maybe not a billion.

But yeah, I may have a go at building one some day.
 
Brad , that's a silly question that doesn't even deserve an answer , ...........


Next you'll be telling us that while in Russia the Germans used bears as sign posts .............

Have yourself a beer , ........ get back into the real world and if we do a landing craft campaign type of thing you can build something sane and rational that no one would dare question like this ................

Hello all,

Its good to see that my suggested group build is getting some discussion. When I posted the original suggestion, there was no bias intended for either allied or axis open top AFV's or tank destroyers. Personally, I like the idea of modelling captured equipment used against their former owners.

If the group build did go ahead, Im not sure that everyone would want to build a german vehicle, as there are plenty of allied examples to model, like the Priest, M10/Achilles, M36, Bishop, Sexton and Hellcat etc.

Laura, I'm not sure what you're unsure about....? Perhaps if this group build did go ahead, you might want to set some firm ground rules to ease your concerns?

Anyway, it was just an idea for something a little different. Its good to see that its getting some interest.

Matt.
