Longest Day GB

Trabi: Just friggin’ fantastic! I love the bridge and all the extra work you put in there. Super cool work on something you don’t see every day!

Bob: Nice work on the MGs!

Bish: Gorgeous work on the Panther, the drybrushing does look great on the zimmerit. Only question is about the cable running from the the headlight would be mounted into the front mg mount, did I miss your explanation?

Thanks gamera. That bit running down to the front MG mount is a chain for the cover that goes over the front of the mount. Its not seen much, but I decided to fit it as I am doing a tank away from the front line. This is one of few pics I have seen of it being used.

I just thought it would be something a little different.

Ahhh, that’s pretty cool Bish. Thanks I learned something today, I’ve never seen the chain fitted like that!

I know, you never even see them lose on the vehicle. I don’t know if they can be un clipped or just broke off.

As much as I enjoy Italeri armor kits, their .50s are pretty anemic. I like to replace them with my Academy Ma Deuces.

great work there Bish. That camo pattern always was one of my favorites for german armour.

I moved some pictures around in photot bucket so here is another of my P-38 for the hall of fame.

Thanks shiv, this is my first time doing this sort of scheme and I do really like it.

I wondered where your pic had gone, I will add the new one to the roster.

Bish, that does look good indeed! Nice!

Shiv, that looks sharp too!

Bish, that is looking awesome!

Shiv: excellent job on the Lightning.

Bish: the Panther looks fantastic, nice detail add with the kugelblende cover.

Both the Panther and the P-38 are monuments to awesomeness. Cheers to you both. [t$t]

Bish,

I’ve working on the Jug and nopt taking pics either, Sorry everyone.

Ill have a couple in a day or two

Couldn’t have said it any better myself… kudos guys!!!

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

No worries Ken, look forward to seeing it.

Shiv: That’s one very sexy looking Lightning!

Ken: I’m looking forward to those pics!

I got my decals on, stowage finished, lights painted, and a wash to start the weathering done over the past couple of days. Got so caught up I forgot to take pics as I was doing it.

Bob, looks like she’s ready to hit the beach! Almost there now.

Yep! Just have to weather, assemble and paint the crew, and attach the machine guns. Hopefully this weekend I’ll be able to find some figures to have running down the ramp and onto the beach.

these two sets are out there

Plus these guys, although the Rangers were carried in LCAs.

Bish thats one beautiful Panther, the camo pattern is awesome. I like what you did with the wheels and the zim really works. The entire turret is very well done and again thats a really nice camo pattern. Thats one to be really proud of.
