Miguelito's Tamiya 1/35 Kubelwagen - FINSIHED about 18 hours
After taking most of the summer off from modeling, I've decided to get back into it full steam and join the Blitzbau fun. I like to think I've just been saving all my modeling energy this summer for just this group build. After going through the stash, I've decided I have three choices.
First choice - Academy's 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat
Second choice - Tamiya's 1/35 Type 82 Kubelwagen
Third choice - Revell's 1/48 Spitfire Mk II
I'd like to save the Spitfire for the BoB GB, so that's probably the least likely to be chosen. That leaves the Kubelwagen and the Wildcat. I'm planning on starting the build about this time (6pm) tomorrow (Saturday), so I've got a little time to think it over. Of course, opinions are welcome.

Re: Miguelito's three choices
Hard choice there but I like the Academy kits for Blitz's. Good luck.

Re: Miguelito's three choices
Either one seems a good choice !

Re: Miguelito's three choices
...and I third(?) that emotion. I decided to try my luck with the bucket wagon. I think it's been in my stash the longest, therefore, it takes seniority. It will be finished with one color, which speeds the process too. Not to mention, it's a Tamiya, so if I shake the box just right, most of it will go together on it's own!ShaunW wrote:I second that emotion.Arcwelder wrote:Kubelwagon.Not seen that built before
I tend to agree; however, I've been trying (not always successfully) to focus more on the non-plane kits in my stash this year. However, I'm still interested in the Wildcat, so be on the look out for a second blitz.MarkyM607 wrote:I prefer planes to vehicles so Wildcat!!

Due to the time zone differences I will be in bed when you start, good luck with your build.

Our local model club had their annual BBQ/auction today, so I got home later than expected...and was considering pushing back the build, but then I heard this on the drive home....

Good to have you blitzing in Texas.
I can't see your vid but I love AC\DC. Unfortunately the kids are in bed so I can't play anything tonight.
