Lets see, what's your next model, it can be anything from tanks to planes whatever floats ya boat. Right, i'll start. Had to go into town today, good job i got some money with me because i found a nice little shop, it's for wargames (Warhammer type stuff), James would love it in there. But, in one corner i spied tanks, lots of tanks in 1/72, 1/35 scale and bigger, so i was in like a flash and came out £25 short but got alot of models, some stuff for this collection in 1/72. So what did i get, the Italeri Sd.Kfz. 173 Jagdpanther for £15.99 now it's time to get some maintenance crew.    
 If it move's its a target, if it stays still its a well disciplined target.

Currently making a Tamiya 1/48th Scale Vought F4U-1D Corsair, next up is most probably Tamiya 1/35th scale Churchill Crocodile from my kit stockpile.

Centurion, you should do a Youtube video of how to put this together and paint it properly! Or maybe just a series of photos throughout the assembly?? Would be good to see the work in progress!

Still slowly working on my Panzer 2. Then I have a Panzer 1 and Char B1 bis lined up. All to fill the likely gaps in this collection. Would also like a Tetrarch (my favourite tank) but so far have only found an Exratech at about £24 - for 1/72 scale! You can gather that I like the early war years tanks - quirky designs but more interesting. Also just received a 1/35 Panther (Italeri) from EBay which cost about £7. WOuld love to see you at work Centurion, either YouTube or just some stills. Your work is a real inspiration. Cheers John

Just recd a dragon leopard 2a4 in winter camo from modelsforsale.com. Ordered it monday, it arrived this morning!!!! Very good model, winter camo scheme makes it look a wee bit different, standard german bronze green with red-brown and tar black patches overlaid with white. Looks good on shelf with the tanks from this collection.

I got a batch of Italeri 1/72 Panzer III and stug III to do. As they are based on the same chassis I will build them all up together and paint them all later. Hope to do that today.

Ade (Cov1) what's next on your bench?, well i know, you need to get this months Model Military International mag. Berlin Bruiser, Chieftain Mk.10 conversion in Berlin scheme. If you get it look on the bottom of page 42, we have GOT to make them up.
If it move's its a target, if it stays still its a well disciplined target.

Cheers John, I will get a copy over weekend, then we will hatch our plan. Here is the tank after about 5 hours over a couple nights. Nearly built it, your right it is a dream to build though need to check difference between Mk5 and Mk10!    I appologise over picture quality its off me phone.
