Last time I built an AFV I was 14 years old - I remember making a full blown diorama - 2 Shermans (1 knocked out) and US infantry approaching a building ,the base contained 2 tonnes of plaster of paris with not very convincing foliage 🤣
Back to the present .. I bought the rebox of the same kit a couple of years ago - for the D-Day 75 GB, but never got the time!
The plan - build 'Hurricane' one of the decal options in the kit , she came ashore on Omaha beach on D-Day+3 , even though the LST delivered her directly onto the beach she was fitted with Deep Wading Gear ... therefore I am going to try replicate her arrival in Normandy by scratch building the deep wading gear 😬 (plasti-card and 3D printer at the ready) ,all advice will be gratefully received.
From the other picture of her having an engine change it can be seen that she has the cast front and spoked wheels - making building choices easier all the time.
The kit
and a start on the bogies
