The DUKW is back on, I figured out a way I can bypass the scratchbuilding and AM stuff. I am going to do a dio of it approaching the beach! ![Tongue [:P]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_tongue.gif) All that stuff will be under water. How low were the DUKWS though?
In the D-day issue, the armor kit list, it showed the 2 Shermans, were they supposed to be the same tank or not? It was kind of confusing
Lastly, I (my parents ![Wink [;)]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif) ) bought Axis & Allies D-day, boy is it cool! The game is amazing!

Well, I was finally able to start my build today. Like my other two armor builds I started with the road wheels. I will take a moment to reflect on 2 1/2 hours of sanding seam lines on 20 sets of wheels (16 for the treads and 4 for spares). However, I did finish that and was able to paint the first side flat black, hopefully will get the other side tomorrow evening.
Need to get a few nights in this week because next week is shot with having to work Sunday-Friday with overtime most days( but one week after that and I'm off work until October).

ddayomaha, Since it got warm I have been watching the Ducks around the lake here in Hot Springs hauling about 30 happy tourist at a time around the sights. The ducks have maybe 2 feet of freeboard or maybe less with passengers. But again its all in how loaded they are. The Squadron book on the dukw is great I'll check it tonight and get back with you.

Started Spitifre ML 407 last night, mostly painting the engine parts and those for the cockpit. Assembled the engine block and this morning assenbled the cockpit components.
Canopy and all transparent bits have been Futured.
Later, while teh last episode of Angel screens on Sky One, I'll join the fuselage halves.
This is the ICM 1/48 kit, moulded in white, which is unusal. There are a number of sink holes in strange places, like the wheel hubs and the backs of the propeller blades and there is a bit of flash present throughout the kit.
Also, the fuselage halves, when brought together form a perfect Y-shape.
However, it does give the options for dropping the flaps, opening the engine cowling completely and opening all the gun-bays.
This should be fun.

Well got the lower and upper hull built up on the firefly. Needed a little TLC with the transmission cover and bolt head...as with all shermans I have built so far. You would think someone would do this right. Looking at the indies they are gonna need some help as well Injecter marks on all of them and on the outsde no less.

I am doing the M10 from AFV club, and so far so good. I got the suspension together with no problems, and have started on the lower hull. I like the kit, however I am doing this one at the same time as the Duckbill from Academy, and the Academy kit has the AFV Club kit beat by a long shot, IMOHO. I will get pics up as soon as possible.
