D-Day collective build?

[Down Time]

I officially started, with pilots and ground crew:View attachment 114212
Much of march will not allow me to build anything.

ICM kit?

ICM kit?

That is indeed the ICM kit. Stolen from my RAF airfield box.

 

[Down Time]

Ha! Thought I recognized it, used it in my airfield.

This picture is part of what I want to recreate:


The other part would be less peaceful, a Tempest being loaded and maintained,

So I'm going with the landing craft as it's new to me, loads of figures which I love doing and I can have a go at a sea/beech diorama. Pantherman

My kit arrived and I have started on it. Got to say mighty impressed with the kit, good quality and fitting and details are great. Fair amount of flash but alot is hidden. Pantherman

I am still trying to decide on what scale of PT boat to do. 1/72 or 1/48. Either way I will need to get a replacement radar mast and depth charge racks, just can't decide on size.

I like my 1:48 stuff, but it is a lot more to build and paint.

Well it's possible. The sad thing is that the water's edge was often pink / red. PM

A quick thought, lead to a poor comment on my part.

What scale are you thinking for this group build? Or are we each allowed to choose whatvever scale we want? I would be down. I'll pickup a German Panther/Tiger and a Stuka.

You can use any scale you wish. The only criteria for this build is it must've had some kind of involvement in D Day.
The model is up to you.
Welcome aboard

Got a little bit more done last night. This kit really fits very well together, almost don't need the glue. Pantherman

We're not going to be able to put them together anyway, so scale is whatever you like.
