Hi,
Johan, I question whether the campaign is allowed a set of tractor pulling a gun or just a tractor?

I'm fine with that as long the cannon is not deployed to fire

What did you have in mind more specifically? I would say no to an Abrams mine plow for example

I was thinking about building this, it's not a big deal if it's not allowed, there are alot of possible candidates for this.

I was thinking of entering with this, but not sure if its eligable. The rules say no jeeps or humvees - its heavier than those, (the S in S.GL is for "schwere" - heavy) but I'm not sure if its heavy enough..?

Hi Neil, sorry I missed your question! I would say no to this one since it's infact nominated as a passenger car. The LE.GL. Lastkraftwagen would be OK though.

Hi all, quick question, would the Bedford WMD or Albion 3-Point fueller be eligible for this campaign? Neither is particularly heavy duty but both were used extensively by the British army and the RAF throughout world war two, if so, I would love to jump in on this campaign if I can as I have both in 1:48 scale as recently released by Airfix

Cheers, Simon

Once I'm settled into our new house I might join this campaign. I might enter the Airfix 1/76 Bedford QL's

What about WC63MG with M2 gun mounted? I'm thinking also about some artillery towed.

Its a pity since MG was used as defensive weapon.

Well, think of it as a chance to build something you might not normally go for! Maybe even go for something completeley different if you feel really bad about omitting the MG. A tractor or bulldozer or something like that? (Obviously, there is nothing stopping you from building the truck for the campaign without the MG and then add it after you submitted to the campaign gallery
