Hi, looking for reference photos of PL124 while on Czech strength in Normandy for d day anniversary build.....any help would be great fully appreciated 👍

Hi, I picked up the 48th Longest day boxing from eduard....I believe there are photo/photos of F/Lt Lazenby's crashed ZD*C as that is the scheme I am looking to get completed but cannot find it as a reference? Also little bit confused as to why Squadron code is not at the front on starboard side? Did two two two carry squadron codes to rear as suggested?

It's to go with a 48th scale Spit Vc...that's 35th scale but still might give it a go as I love the caunter schemes

Now that is interesting, love the caunter scheme option......if it was only in 48th but I may have to get one of these anyway 😲

Tried doing a direct link to site but Dropbox wouldn't allow (or I just don't know). Only just started using it.

Brilliant kitbashing there, love it!....I have a tamiya staff car half built. I'll have to look into the GMC.

Brilliant reference piece that....love the individual stories that make up the complete picture. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hlc4j9xz0s1kxynlf6p3w/image10.jpg?rlkey=788ih3a290312lblipn9heq8u&dl=0 This picture is amazing, love the spit in the background taking off.

Hasegawa P40 E kits. With resin engines and gun bays and eduard photo etch. Figures are various makes but I must make mention of the reedoak figure that is so well cast. Airfix Bedford and a bit of a kit bashed jeep which i took liberties on as I wasn't sure any jeeps would have reached front line RAF units in the Desert at this point?

I found some photos of a salvation army naafi on what was believed to be a chevvy body....either way we are thinking american with that style cab? I have a mk v spit that I would love to pair up with a possible naafi based on those pics.

My last build has been sitting around a while as I've moved house a few times the past couple of years and only just settled in somewhere more fixed....its based on 112 squadron at landing ground LG91 in early Sept 42 before GA*C was lost on the 12/09/42 (was repaired and returned to strength in oct). I decided after reading 'shark squadron pilot' by Bert Horden and being amazed by the sheer stresses the kittyhawk pilots were under in the fighter bomber role and close air support that it would be a tribute to the fallen pilots of the Desert Air Force that supported the 8th army in the push from El Alamein. Hope you enjoy (apologies for the camera phone pics, I have no set up at home yet for dslr pics). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jujv88px242gwfgzgrsbd/20230803_154623.jpg?rlkey=nejo6k5prjga4o0sa4q62k2dk&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b1gptjpifsfv12v7ka2gw/20230803_154544.jpg?rlkey=m9wicpm8er49ydnj06wbgrn1c&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/prahlac3ebc9rbjhq671f/20230803_154527.jpg?rlkey=zpgao2jl9vwy9murop6ii6hyp&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i5otyoavwqruvzaajdbqf/20230803_154505.jpg?rlkey=gppg37ulopltji2j1e7vehk0s&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xhsa2x2ac768cme2kkxe2/20230803_154420.jpg?rlkey=frt0yfo9c34eciy77tfj8twnb&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wytqzxzymuvpbe2n71563/20230803_154311.jpg?rlkey=ijmxff6iwrprajz258aazuzow&dl=0

I'm hoping the two links I have posted work as it's my first time using drop box and the first time I have posted in a long time as just getting my feet wet again after a couple of years out....can anyone identify for me the RAF Naafi vehicle in the pictures and if there is a 48th scale equivalent out there or something that can be converted? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s8a93liouk3l087p83pm8/Screenshot_20230731-081101_Chrome.jpg?rlkey=tijy4zcu25qyu0x2e51bhdb1a&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/sjaliiz518lrle6lehndo/large_000000_261493896784577.jpg?rlkey=h1xgtmz825fbiwnhxg3x1j4zx&dl=0 Many thanks

Cheers guys, that expo one looks the way forward. I have a big enough window to vent from but it's just a noise concern for neighbours below and at back. Missing having the garden and garage space for working out in when it comes to spraying ☹️

Hi, I'm currently living in a flat so my modelling has been winding down a lil after my last project due to a lack of space but I have a a couple of kits I'm desperate to get done so I'm looking at spray booths but having never used one I know next to nothing about what to look for or what to budget for one? Any info is welcome. Many thanks

Ok, don't judge but sort of do judge but I had to with the steadiest fingers and finest paint brush paint in the sharkmouth.....what do you think? Passable? Botched?

Cheers, the more the merrier at moment.....so gutted. I got some of the Mr mark neo stuff but it just doesn't touch the Japanese decals and microsol seemed stronger but it wasn't to be 🥺
