I'm defiantely swinging more to the KSK then as I am an absolute nut on German Panzers and believe the quality of German armour should be shown to the world.
as a member of KSK I of course am biased and would suggest you approach Martin Wall our group CO. Ring his mobile 07521 375 384 and you can have a chat with him.
2Nd Battle group are a great bunch and the two groups have a good working relationship, so which ever group you decide on I am sure you will enjoy yourself
It could be done but it would not be an easy project as the warriors CRVTs etc make extensive use of aluminium which is not as easy for non profesional wlders to work with. These vehicles are also very expensive to buy even whan they are available
Saw this amazing work at the Victory show in Cosby, Leics. I am impressed and thinking of doing something similar to join up with these guys as the battle re-enactments looked like great fun. P.S. You let my boys sit and have their photo on heidi and it made their day.
We can build you one if you want. She was built by us for battle re-enactment, and in fact is the first in a Zug of 3 STUGs. They are being built by a team headed by Big H Marillier who owns the vehicles. We are considering plans to offer a service of providing people with all the panels so that they could then build there own. You would have a problem building one of these in OZ as you used the Yank equivalent of the 432 that are made of aluminium and is therefore not as easy to fabricate on.
We were so busy building it we did not have time to do video and I dropped my camera in water which destroyed it with some video that had not been uploaded. We will soon be starting to buld another STUG and hopefully be able to fill in the gaps.
@wtacsmg are you selling these? or are they for your own collection? you should make a "how to convert" book for these, i'd love to have a go at it myself here in OZ. they'd sell like hot cakes here
My wife had just had a major op and so i was not at the show, I was gutted but my wife always comes first

Can I just ask. If I want to get involved, who should I approach the Kampfgruppe Stahlkreigers or the 2nd Battle Group??

Was thinking. Do you think something similar could be done to convert a warrior APC into a Jagdpanther??
