I look at all these panzers and my only though is I wish I had another Cromwell. Still got a Hummel on the way and waiting for that berge 4 to be released.
The Libelle is a fake tank from a alt history story. The Flakkenträger doesn't have a lot of evidence to support it's existence but there is enough for me.
Floof carrier > gun carrier
This one looks quite funky as it's one of my first attempts at modifying an existing model to make a new variant but I couldn't get the colour of the base model. Perhaps at some point I will redo this one and turn it into the Canadian breaching variant, but for now its good enough.
Choices for tomorrow are: 38(t), Sturmpanzer 6 or TOG-2 Star.
P.s. sorry for uploading this twice I forgot to put the name of the tank in the posts title.
I hope I got the name correctly translated.
This is the final version of this fake panzer 3 I've been working on, it's a elongated panzer 3 with the engine moved to the middle and a 12.8 K43 mounted in the back in a superstructure. Most importantly this not a tank hunter but a siege gun hence why it can aim up so high.
changes since last time:
Decking installed.
Charges changed to more proportional size.
Connectors for the shell storage changed to brassy gold as to avoid standing out.
Breach redesigned and looking much better if I do say so my self
Multiple options for barrel available.
The barrel choices that available are shown off in the last few pictures with a marker to show off the length on the tape measure. I would be very appreciative to know what barrel looks best.

To replace the one I turned into the waffenträger I needed another and decided to attempt a speed build at the same time. Unless I find a really cool variant that I think I can build this will be the last one I buy for a while as now I have 13 variants of the 4.
With a prepared turret, tracks and several elements of the hull interior and exterior I managed to build it in 22 minutes. My fingers hurt after that so I won't be doing anymore speed builds. As this was my tenth time building this model I didn't even need the manual, the final pic is all my spare copies of this manual.
And since I had a spare turret completely available I decided to make a few other variants that didn't deserve a unique hull in my collection as space is becoming a premium resource for my shelves. I've also slightly changed the bow plate as to seal up the gap and bring the access hatches flush.
The repair bill after the Panzer 8 takedown must have been quite expensive.
Choices for tomorrow are: M1-KVT, Churchill gun carrier or M26 pershing
Very early it would seem this one only has primer and no paint.
Choices for tomorrow are: EMBT (in urban camo), Hetzer or M26 pershing
Yukari has a model of this in the show.
This is another model I modified so that is why there is a colour mismatch. I can't get the parts I need in that colour.
Choices for tomorrow are: Sturmpanzer 6, Ferdinand (early Jadgtiger p) or Flakpanzer 5
Tea time with Challenger 2.
CLIP stands for Challengers lethality increase program. It has a few upgrades but the big one is the gun is now smoothbore while maintaining it's full accuracy, allowing it fire Sabot and Waded ammo.
Choices for next time are: IS-2, panzer 2 J or Leopard 2A8
I've got 6 stugs at this time and I thought I would show off the important 5 when it comes to the armaments.
The first on is the short 7.5cm the first gun the Stug would be armed with in an attempt to get as many rushed out for service as soon as possible, it was the same armament as featured on the panzer 4 at the time. It was decently powerful but it's accuracy suffered from its short barrel at longer ranges. I made this mantlet by cutting down a spare one from the Quan panzer 3 L with a pair of side cutters and whitling down the rest.
The second is the KWK 40 a longer barrel 7.5cm that would also get fitted to the panzer 4 F2, unlike the F2 it would mount it's recoil springs above the gun in a upturned V shaped armoured box mantlet. An overall great improvement but did add some extra weight on the vehicle and made the interior a little more cramped. This mantlet was made from spare parts including double sided parts and stud ring inserts.
The third is the same gun with the later hbelfe mantlet that improves the front armour profile.
Forth is the Sturm-huabitze 42 a 10.5cm howitzer that was used for infantry support roles but became very common later on when the Stug 4 entered production, though the Stug 4 would rarely receive any as the 4 was seen as better for a tank hunter role than the 3. Made in the same way I made the second mantlet
And lastly the Sig33b fitted into the Sturm-Ifanteriegeschütz a rare variant of the Stug 3 with either 12 or 24 built and the first confirmed 12 all destroyed at Stalingrad. I copied the Quan sturmpanzer 2 to get the shape of the barrel right, this is also my most fragile build.
Open top vehicles are not allowed to complete in tankery for safety reasons, but you are allowed to get out of your tank at any time? Also I found a cute pose for the Floof.
Fun fact: this vehicle only existed on paper, I had to modify a existing set to make this so the gun is my build.
Choices for tomorrow: Churchill gun carrier, Challenger 2 Clip, Panther(but what one do I mean?)
Tank destroyer‽ Yukari would never.
But in seriousness I'm a little disappointed that Pravda during the original series and Der film had such a small variety of tanks the soviet union had loads domesticly and available through lend lease.
And feel free to recommend a tank, if I have it I will make a Floofpost.
Another extra small tank for Katyusha.
Choice for tomorrow Challenger 2 Clip, C.A.T.T.B. or SU-100
St Gloriana's is the final boss of girls und panzer, so I think Yukari is trying to get some intel.
This is a perfectly normal T-55 remember it was built to be as small a target as possible. (This is a custom order for katyusha, extra small)
A12 Matilda 2 tomorrow I want to choose this time.
The 2A4 is the best looking of all tanks in my opinion.
Which tank should be next? If I have it I will make a Floofpost for it.
Be careful not to mistake this tank for a M24.
No one asked for a tank last time so I chose one, do you have a recommendation for the next tank? If I have one I will make a Floofpost.
I learned of another interesting variant of the panzer 4 that never existed beyond blueprints, a panzer 4 carrying a 12.8 in a rear mount and realised that It wouldn't be too hard to modify an existing model to make.
The changes I made included moving the engine forward, changing the engine decks position and finally building a gun and shield for the rear

Thanks too some previous advice I've received from people in this subreddit I've gotten better at designing some parts, I think that is the best looking gun I've ever made but as always any recommendations or advice are welcome.
Remember õarai is on a tight budget so we can only afford half an Abrams.
