                        My build for this coincides with the D-day build, a Schimminwagen, and possibly an M10 and a firefly VC.

                        Ok, I'm in for sure....but I can't start right away. What I'm thinking of doing is a downed P-47, with a German half track with guys jumping out going to investigate and a Wirblewind driving down a road on the other side of the hedgerow. By the way, it's all in 1/72 scale!

                        Not required, but it would be great as always. You can participate without photos, but tell us what your building and try to get a finished pic if you can. If there's no way to do it than thats fine, but if it is possible then post them. So are you in zokissima?

                        Sounds good. Are there photos required? I don't have a digi cam, so posting pics for me is pretty difficult.

                        sorry guys, too lazy to read the other posts. When is the start and end date to this build?
                        I've been torn between this and the D-Day build, but I don't want to buy another kit (too many unbuilt ones lying around), and I'd like to finaly model a Panther. Correct me if I'm wrong please, but didn't the 12th SS panzer division have Panther's in Normandy?
                        I was watching a special last night on the History Channel, and they had a whole bunch of stuff on D-Day and Normandy.

                        I like the idea of the hedgerow for the badge, but invasion stripes would also be terrific!

                        I'm torn between a p47 or a bunker scene
