Think I’ll jump in with this - Japan’s version of a Jagdtiger, never made it past blueprints.

RFM’s boxing kept the interior parts, right?
Right.
Hey everyone, by my reckoning we’re now officially live! So please start posting those start-up pics of what you’ll build, and the plastic/resin/metal components you’ll build it from! My own build is still being decided…
The Campaign is now out of the Staging Area and has it’s own Topic. Off we go!
Thanks Matt! So, who’s gonna be first to post shots of actual plastic?
I like Russian T-series tanks, I like big guns and I cannot lie, all you other brothers can deny. So I’m in with the Object 292
T-80 chassis, modified T-80 turret, and a brand spankin new 152mm gun.

Cool! Does that still count as a tank, or as mobile artillery with that big gun? Looking forward to seeing how it builds up!
For my own build, I’m torn between the GAU-8 competitor for the DIVAD, or the JagdChieftain, or the Vauxall-turreted Cromwell tank.
M48 DIVAD GE contender
JagdChieftain
Vauxall Cromwell
Any preferences?

I am a sucker for all things brrrrt, but…
That Jagdchieftain is so absolutely cursed that I’m going to have to ignore my instinct and vote for it.

Hmmm… Wonder if I can get two done in time? 
I’m with Don, you just have to build that ugly monstrosity.
Well after two weeks I can see tumbleweeds rollin’ through! So to get things moving I started looking at the DIVAD turret and chucked some shapes in CAD. Fear not - the plan is to build it in plastic, but first I need to work out all the angles and shapes to form a cutting template!
Anyone else making a start?

The DIVAD without doubt. And please please take that Jagd Chieftain away … it is the most hideous thing I have seen … in fact, its made my eyes bleed

But the Jagd is so ugly it draws attention! 
(Besides, I have a spare Chiefy hull to use on something…)

That deserves to be the Marksman
Funny enough, it’s a left-over from the Marksman! I used the turret on an M60 hull…
[EDIT: Old Frankenstein’s got nothin’ on me! I cross-kit so much I may have to move my workbench to an ancient Bavarian castle and wait for a thunder storm…]
