alright fella's. here we go.
I have two group builds going at the moment, but I also work 12 to 14 hours a day throughout week. both group builds are in there fiddley stages. and I need something to do during those 1/2 hour stretches during the week. I need to cut and glue sprue

I have several Africa korps kits, that I can do the building during the week. i'll finish the painting and weathering after I finish up the group builds
these are the kits i'm planning on using
now i'm not sure about the tiger, part of me thinks a panzer mark 3 or a earlier mark 4 but I have the tiger ( and I like tigers). or maybe a truck with a lot of fuel barrels meeting a recon unit. plus theirs Rommel. well now i'm just going to get going on the builds

when I get to the paint and weathering i'm thinking of doing each vehicle differently, to try different techniques, and materials
so thanks for looking

Looking pretty sweet! I love German armored cars. Hate the width indicator poles though, they always snap off. I've started replacing them with turned brass ones any time I can.
Got one of those 8-wheelers in my cupboard, I think it's all built and I'd just have to paint it, but that always takes me an age to do.

Nice start. Motorbike looks class. Although I cant look at a Jerry motorbike without thinking of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!

I think this is going to be great. I haven't tackled a DAK vehicle since coming back to modelling, so will be interested to see how you tackle this and what you do with it.
Top stuff, will be following along.

How have not seen this until now?
That amount of kits would be two years work for me
