Stormbringer Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hi all I'm planning a Churchill mkIV avre using the Tamiya mkVII and the Legend conversion kit. Now I also have a resin fascine carrier and deep wading kit, my question is, would and Avre have gone ashore with both fascine carrier and wading kit fitted? or should I save one for another build?

SleeperService Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 If landing on D Day then you can use both. Even vehicles landed later direct onto the beach had trunking fitted I assume this was in case the ship couldn't get all the way in. You might find this page helpful: http://www.6juin1944.com/assaut/gold/en_page.php?page=69landing In fact the whole site is pretty good If you're generally interested then this book is very good IMHO as well: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cracking-Hitlers-Wall-Assault-Engineers/dp/0811705897 You've got a lot of work ahead but the results should be worth it. You can build a very impressive model with what you've got. As a medically retired HGV driver I love your signature line. Been looking for that on a bumper sticker for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 If you read John Foley's book "Mailed Fist" they fit all the deep wading kit and then go ashore without getting the tracks wet. Thanks for the link. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
