      I just don't want to do a model that would be excluded because it was the wrong model, wrong decals etc etc. tbh I'm a bit out of my depth but I just want to join in.

          Any of these have marking options applicable to D-Day.
          Some are available in Johns shop others you may have to do a bit of hunting around for.

          Geoff.

            Thank you VERY much Geoff! I did some looking around and almost bought the Thunderbolt but then I saw the Eduard Tempest on ebay, bid and won!

                  Okay, so, while I'm waiting for some silver paint and varnishes to dry, I think I will jump in on this. Just see how quick I can get this done

                      Excellent Steve.
                      Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                        Sorry guys but I’m opting out on the 1/48 Tamiya Sherman and going to something in 1/72 scale where my Mojo is currently staying at this time. I figure I can maybe build two 1/72 scale kits in the time frame instead of grinding on the 1/48 Sherman and not enjoying it. I’ll post my 1/72 Subject later today.

                            Yes Arnold if not it would probably never get started and the mojo would die. So I’m going with my gut feelings on this.

                              This will be my new Choice for the GB. Yes I’m replacing those hideous wheels and tires. Click image for larger version

                                Nice one Lee, good choice :thumb2:

                                I build primarily 1/72 for the same reason, I’ve found if a build takes me too long I lose interest and struggle to finish it :sad-face:
