This is a scene I have wanted to do for 20 years and have finally gotten around to doing it. Using the Huma 1/72nd DFS 230, I have depicted a scene from the German assault on the Belgian fortress of Eben Emael on May 10th 1940. This was a typical Huma kit with little detail on the inside. I scratch built a bench for the troops in the fuselage and added some details to the cockpit from the spares box.
I painted with Xtracolour RLM 02 and weathered with Flory washes and dry brushing. The figures are from Preiser and Revell. I added some 50Kg hollow charge devices and Bangalore torpedo's so I could depict as accurately as possible squad 8 of Assault Group Granite.
Thanks for looking, all comments questions welcome.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
