                        Here is my completed build with 2 days to spare ! Berlin Express was a P-51C-3-NT piloted by Lt. William Overstreet & assigned to the 363rd FS, 357th FG, 8th AF at Leiston, England. Model features full invasion stripes & the white wall tires associated with several of the Squadron's aircraft.



                        Basic kit was the Tamiya 1/48 P-51B with AM goodies from Eduard, Ultracast & Aeromaster.



                        Paint was Alclad2 for the NMF, ModelMaster enamel for the OD, & Floquil for the invasion stripes.



                        This was my first participation in a Group Build & I found it to be interesting & fun. I would like to offer a big THANK YOU to John for initiating & moderating this GB.

                        If no one objects, I'd like to also post these pics on the Aircraft Forum, as not all of the flyboys/airheads have been following this thread.

                        Regards, Rick

                        Thanks guys! Glad you like it, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out Smile [:)]

                        wibhi2...yes, the kit is 176th scale. The crew is made up of a mixture of 1/72 and 1/76 scale figures from a few different companies. All told the whole diorama is 20x25 cms.

                        Alrighty, despite the best efforts of RL, I've finally finished off my D-Day diorama. What I've put together here is a view of one gun from the the 13th Field Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division moving inland off Juno beach on June 6th.

                        Anyways, here are my pictures.

                        Ghettochild: Your tank and typhoon look great.

                        ghamilti: That is one fabulously painted figure. Very life like in a still frame.

                        rjkplasticmod: the 'stang is coming along rather nicely.

                        Here's my completed SMER 1/48 piper LH-4 grasshopper






                        you will note:
                        1.) one of the stabilizer stuts went on a walk-about without me knowing about it
                        2.) I for got to remove one of the interior window masks before I firmly attached the canopy

                        Haven't had time for pics, but the Stang is in final stages. Hope to post some completed build pics Monday or Tuesday.

                        Regards, Rick

                        sorry, dont have a lot of computer time. You can post pics whenever you want.

                        In desperation I built a flak 38. Its done and just needs some paint. The WACO turned into a living hell.

                        So-- are we posting pics of completed models or waiting until the end date?? I have one of two done and wasn't sure-- some people mentioned waiting and it seems others have posted-- just wanted to know what the guideline on this was again?
