What next? Let's look in the stash...

It actually seems like it's been a long time since I made a proper kit. It's all been resin conversions, diecast conversions and 'easy build' kits of late, so time to look at what I have in the stash that would be a bit more challenging from a build point of view. Here are some of the contenders...

The very complex looking ACE Kfz.17 - the second of the three radio wagons I need for my Finnish project...

The even more complex Trumpeter Sd.kfz.9/1 recovery vehicle...

This is an absolute monster of a kit, the Trumper gives you the option to make the version without the crane (which the Finns used). I'd be using the crane for another conversion project, so it won't be going to waste.

Turning the complexity down a bit, I also have a very nice Academy Blitz (which, I guess for licensing reasons, the simply call a 'German Cargo Truck)!

I picked this up really cheaply in a sale, but I believe it is a very well regarded kit of the legendary German truck. Again, the Finn's had a good few of the early (commercial) models of this cargo vehicle.

Now, here's something a bit different. Basically, what we have here is a very nice Zvezda T-34/75 m43 'snap fit' kit. It's actually a sort of  advanced 'easy build', but with lots of very nice detail...

However, I had something very special in mind for this kit and had been saving it for the right moment. What I had in mind was adding a very nice specialist conversion kit by Black Dog, which turns the bog-standard T-34 into an Egyptian 122mm Self Propelled Gun!

Now, that's different, eh? :)
