Ok, that's a good start, but remember invasion stripes continued after our time frame. IIRC, up til December 1944. Then again, during the Suez crisis, when yellow paint was substituted for the white stripes. Can you prove that it was part of the OOB during operation Overlord, that is, between 6th June 1944 and 30 September 1944 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Dennis, you could display this next to RA Berg's Spitfire - http://spitfiresite.com/2010/04/a-question-of-foreign-markings.html - I'm sure there are a few decals around if you don't have him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I've got a question for the powers that be. In a couple weeks it'll be Blitz Build time again and I'm wondering what to buy for it. So the question is if I were to build say a German AFV in markings appropriate for D-Day for the Blitz Build and then when the Blitz Build is done start a thread on here (similar to Tiger GB cross-over) is that OK?

Your Blitz Build kit choice becomes part of your build log in the D-Day GB. You must add something to it in order to qualify in the D-Day gallery. The rule examples given as to what that extra "something" seems to be in the form of an additional aircraft or vehicle? regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Excellent - I've ordered a Stug IV and a Piper Cub, so I'll have some options to choose between. BTW if you haven't tried a Blitz Build GB before I highly recommend it - it's surprising how you can get done in 24hrs. Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Robert, as Group Build Host you have more power than me. That's probably a good thing as I tend to let the power go to my head! @Dave_R Are you proposing to build the kit in the Blitzbuild GB and then use the resulting model as a component of a larger build in this GB? If so, provided Robert agrees, that seems perfectly fine to me. The 25% rule isn't infringed because the STUG kit wasn't started at the start of this GB. @JackG has got it right. I would recommend adding some photos from the STUG build to your build thread here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawzer Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I guess when the kit came out 230 wasn't available The instructions would have you mix 15 parts 30 to 10 parts 25 to 7 parts 101 and 4 parts 4.....😲 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
