@roybent.bsky.social - I finally pulled the trigger - should be here in a day or 2 (I wanted this color), hoping it is same as ones I tried out. Had my heart set on the BB King Lucille model with the Varitone and buckers but the A5 P-90's just sing like nothing l have, pretty stoked here!

Thanks to all that took part in
#DDAY80GB - Some super talented modelers here for sure!
I am still trying to finish up my Sherman, made it to the beach late but should be finished soon

My final #DDAY80GB build: Airfix 1:76 LCM with M4A2 (County of London Yeomanry, 4th Armoured Brigade).
Well done everyone who entered, great D-Day builds all round 👍 Thanks Hobby Dude @bighobbydude.bsky.social for the inspiration and for running the build 👍

Did actually complete my Sherman tanks for #DDAY80GB! A little small next to everyone else's projects, but it was my first group build and I'm glad I went unambitious, given the way I hurt my back in the middle. A fun experience, all told

Two Beaufighters. On the left, a Canadian TF.X, in action on D-Day, 80 years ago today. On the right, an Australian Mk 21.

Paint is looking very good!
I might have pulled it off. (According to my standards anyways)

A very violet Grauviolet that I mixed up.

#DDAY80GB Beautiful! Tom
#DDAY80GB Always good to get a bit of OD and some decals on, a big step towards the finish - the D-Day anniversary is only a week away. Painting in details next. M4A2 from County of London Yeomanry, 4th Armoured Brigade (Desert Rats), landed at Sword beach at 8am on 7th June #scalemodels

#DDAY80GB Just Fantastic!
#DDAY80GB I'm going to try very hard not to over weather this. I just need to let the Kristal Klear set on the canopy and I'm done. I really enjoyed this Hobby 2000 kit of an iconic aircraft.

The scale fundamentalist delivers for #DDAY80GB
1/72 M31/T2, an M3 based heavy tank recovery vehicle mounting a fully traversable garwood crane.
Probably not the often depicted first landing wave heroes, but their job was no less grim imagining the scenes they were task to clean up.

Settling in for a Friday's Eve of figure building, cleanup & painting a tank crew + couple infantry aka me goofing up & googly eye'ing 1:35 figures 😂 After 50 years of model building I still have a long ways to go on figures - wish me luck

Hope everyone is well #DDAY80GB looking great so far I still have items to finish on my bench & sorta locked myself out of bluesky for a bit by goofing up my PW Juggling recovery & trying to keep income by doing some work out of my home bike shop. Weather is great and the jobs have been rolling in

Well here she is, the Bedford from IBG Models for #DDAY80GB. Quite a nice model to build, really enjoyed it. Weathering is well down to my usual standard, so I hope you like her.

D-Day duo: Hawker Typhoon next to a British Sherman Firefly tank, both 1/72 scale. The Typhoon is a BIG aircraft.
