Finally have gotten all the parts for this project now, so will be starting it now.
Have already started converting the chassi to accomodate the interior parts. After the interior is finished I will be moving on the the suspension, and finally the exterior. Haven't really decided what configuration to build yet, but I have some time to think about it. Just need a lot of pictures of OIF Humvees.
Arriving part 2...Stryker

With growing frustration I come to the conclusion that no one seams to be able to help me with the instructions for the interior. Have tried to write an email to the manufacturer, and I know the mail has been read, but no reply, and now it has been some days.
Have also tried to request it over at Armorama, which usually is a good place for help, but no look there either. Starting to det desperate...

The interior from BlackDog arrived in the mail today, or is it yesterday now... Had only time to give it a quick look, but what I saw looked great. Just one downside to it all and that is that the instructions wheren't complete, but hopefully I can fix them soon. Not that the main kit have arrived yet.

Another gigantict project with the following:
AFVs Stryker with their new released update set
Interior from Black Dog.
Maybe will end up using more aftermarket stuff but nothing else planned at the moment.

Ok, strange category, but there is an explanation. This thread is about what I would like to build. some of these might come through but most of them probably wont.
First on the list in Tamiyas new beatiful Spitfre IX in 1/32. Since I'm a big Spitfire fan it would be a real dream to build. So, what's stopping me? First of all the price, at the moment it is way to expensive for me. And second I'm a little short or storage space right now. And third, I have some many projects already that never gets done... And fourth, I don't really like any of the markings options supplied in the kit, but that should be easy to fix with some aftermarket decals
Otherwise this year seams to be a great year for us Swedes with two CV-90 kits being released (hopefully)...
More to come...

Ok, ordered some conversion kits from Propaganda kompany well over three weeks ago. And they still haven't arrived, and I leave for a long holiday tomorrow... Don't know how long packages are alound to lie at the postoffice... Not good at all...
Update: didn't need to worry. The items got delivered in the mailbox, so they where waiting for me when I got home. Now only waiting for the Armorama Humvee campaign to start so I can start building.

This Humvee project is still on the drawing board. But what I have in mind is taking a 1/35 Humvee from Tamiya, either their M1025 or their M1046, and add some aftermarket stuff. So far I'm thinking about Legends Interior set, and some exterior kits from Blast-models, wich I'm not sure of yet. Also looking for some crew figures to add as well.
A little edit: Just recived the first parts for this project, a set with wheels from a company called DToys. Also have three add on kits on the way from Blast-models, should arrive any day now. And I still don't have the base kit yet...
Update 31/12:
Ok, have almost everything now for the build. Have got the kit, and all Blast-model parts. Just waiting for the Legend interior. But hopefully I will get it before Armoramas Humvee campaing starts 15th of january.
