    Rommel's half-track Greif will be my entry in the Build Group. I intend to make the Tamiya 1/48th scale version. I'm not sure if the subject is covered by the dates of the Tunisia Campaign. If it does fall out of the time span, I will be more than happy to change my subject.
    I was considering the Tamiya 1/35th Valentine Mk. II/IV as my reserve subject.

    David, If either of these choices miss the mark, let me know, and I'll put my thinking cap on and get back to you.

    Good luck to everyone.

    That half-track is perfect. Matter of fact, I was hoping for one! Thanks, Julian!

    Thank you David. I'll do a bit of research before the start date.

    Julian, this is great - I'm so glad someone decided to do one of these! (I think I'm getting a bit over-excited about this group build!).

    I’m telling you, Paul, when I pondered starting it (I’m pretty new here, after all), the more I thought of it the more I realized the Tunisia Campaign is a thematic paradise for modelers. Almost anything you like is here, lots of exotic stuff too, and the tropical color schemes that can be fun and challenging.

    Thank you Paul. It looks like it's going to be a great group.
