Tour de Airfix Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 On 20/04/2024 at 11:24, john redman said: Is the diorama base supposed to be on a forward airstrip in France? I'm trying to fathom why there's a dirt road on an RAF base otherwise! Yes, these were rapidly constructed following the D-Day landings and moved across Northern France following the advancing Allied troops. They were unable to use the vacated French airfields as they had been bombed and so large areas of farmland were cleared and laid with temporary runways. I like the way Airfix have provided in their moulding tree stumps, as I remember reading that many a wood was cleared to make way for these forward airstrips.

SD45elect2000 Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 I like the Bren carriers, don’t have any but they would make a nice little collection. Randall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modeling maniac Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 The carriers are PSC and are available at models 2 U for £23.00, which is a bargain if you buy direct from PSC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modeling maniac Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 They go together really really well, if you trim the parts down perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modeling maniac Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Just saying, the one leading is what the instructions say with two in the back and then the front crew, the one on the rear left is custom with only the two front crew and a bin gun mounted on the center top, and finally the one on the rear right is another custom build where I have crammed four into the back and the given one of them a bren gun. Just saying the one jout mentioned is quite hard to do as you are putting so many things into the rear which is on the small side shoul I say. Happy building James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
