Just managed to sneak this one in! Finished this morning after an early start with the kids.

 

This is b-25 Mitchell "bottoms up II" that crash landed in corsica, or at least my rendition! It's my first ever stars and bars aircraft  (not my last) and first try at a NMF. The build was inspired by the wife, she is a red head yoga teacher and found this funny, I said it was her...

Merry Christmas everyone!

'Kampfgruppe Tunesien'

German Armour Diorama with an Fw190 A4 with working propeller

When I was planning what I wanted to build for this GB I was initially thinking of just making a couple of German tanks based in Tunisia. Then Jack G mentioned that the units did tend to fight in battlegroups and, in fact, that In early 1943 the eleven surviving tigers of 501 were allocated to 504.

From there the project has grown and includes two Tiger 1s, a Pz.III Ausf.L and an Fw.190 A4 in a small diorama which includes some figures.

 

The kits:

Kit 1: 1/48 Tamiya Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf.L as Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.L No.1 - 10th Panzer Division 1943

Paints: Humbrol, Revell and Citadel all applied by brush

Extras: Stretched sprue aerial and Tamiya stowage items from the Jerry Can Set.

RFI: Here

 

Kit 2: 1/48 AFV Club Tiger 1 as Panzerkampfwagen VI, Tiger I (E), SdKfz 181 No.131

Paints: Humbrol, Revell and Citadel all applied by brush

Extras: Skybow individual track links

RFI: Here

 

Kit 3: 1/48 Tamiya  Tiger 1 Initial production as Tiger 1, No.731, 'Norbert'

Paints: Humbrol, Revell and Citadel all applied by brush

Extras: Stretched sprue aerial and some Hauler PE 

RFI: Here

 

Kit 4: 1/48 Tamiya Fw190 A3 (converted to an A4 ) as Fw 190 A-4 of II./JG 2 Flown by Hauptmann Dickfeld

Paints: Humbrol, Revell and Citadel all applied by brush

Extras: Aerial cable from EZ-line plus an Airfix propeller motor.

RFI: Here

 

Figures are all from the Tamiya Africa Corps and Tank Maintenance sets. The palm trees (such as they are) are from Woodlands Scenics and the tufts are by Army Painter.

Actually, I did finish three MTO fighters during this GB... A Blitzbuild Sicilian Bf 109 and a Tunisian FW 190 in the dedicated STGB. Here they´re all together!

 

Merry Christmas, fellow group builders! Regards, V-P
