Thanks, Cliff for the nce words.

Eric, I signed up for the Have Gun will Travel GB and will be building the Bronco Bishop. I won this kit from Doogs website last year. Looks like a great kit with lots of parts.

Even with the build ended I'm still chugging along on my little Hotchkiss. Will post the photos to the Armour forum when I'm done.

She's not much bigger than a German Peeperkampfwagen I....

Took a few better photos of my Char B1 but didn't really like how any came out.

I brought this thread back to life to let anyone whom might care, that Dragon is releasing a new BEF figure set. However, I don't recall much Brit armor built for this, but nonetheless, it's coming.

There was a picture of a Universal Carrier in the artwork and if Dragon does like I've seen so many times before, maybe they might just release a newly tooled one! If they do, I pray that they have DS tracks. Wink

That's a good looking set with the water-cooler 30 cal.

I wish Dragon would release a British North Africa set to go along with the Bishop I got in the stash.

Yeah, I saw that as well! The 30 cal looks very nice! I hope you're right about the universal carrier. Too bad this didn't come out a few months ago!

I am back from a year of working on a house, and back at the bench. I have the Potez about 75% and the Amiot about % 50. Man, the canopy masking has been a chore.
