Not much action on this tread i guess everyone is waiting for D-Day
Well the crew of my Hummel was really into the whole camo thing and here is what it looks like now




Any helpful suggestions before I spray this with a coat of dull and call it finished

Just started my build, Italeri 1/35 Crusader III AA Mk.II.

Here is my startup photo of the Italeri DUKW

Crusader III AA MK.III finished, 7th Armoured Division - Normandy, June 1944.

Hey guys,

Great work so far! I'm afraid I'm not gonna make it this year. My AVRE is still where I left it last year in June...

It's been a very strange year and I haven't been able to do any modeling since then... I saw that someone made a medal for the campaign, thanks for that!

I have been following the forums in the past few months, I was in Normandy last weekend, so I don't loose my interest.

But life sometimes takes you were modeling can't go.

Anyway, I'll do my job as campaign leader and distribute all the medals. And if there's interest we can do a part 3. I still have that AVRE to finish.

I really hope I'll be able to continue with the hobby ASAP!

Thanks guys!

Dave

finally... made it to the deadline, I still wanted to add some foliage and other details. Maybe next time.
I liked the Campaign but I hated this kit, these early Trumpeter kits are not good, awful detailing, tracks are rubbish, fitting, decals .. I still have the Howitzer version I might get the Bronco one, I can't be that bad.

Anyway here's my update:







Finished:

Dave I did not manage to get my firefly done still got the tracks and paint to do but if there is and extension for a couple of weeks will get it done by then.

Cheers Keith

Hi guys !

27 enlisted, 5 finished.

Ribbons sent.

I just saw Keith's request, I'll give you a few days to finish your build (15th June ok ?) and then sent you the ribbon.

It wasn't a very crowded Campaign but one with historical meaning, specially after watching the 70th anniversary events.

Anyway I hope everyone had fun, see you all on the next Campaign !!

John nice finish on your build I like your camo job
Thanks for the ribbon in is a mile stone for me number 100

Thanks Sal !
I'm guessing you'll need to hire Dolly Parton to carry your ribbons soon enough...

Thanks John getting busy with the tracks now the 15th should be more than enough time.

Cheers Keith

Well got the tracks on and started the painting first coat Vallejo Olive Drab primer followed by dark grey shading around some of the detail and then a coat of dark green lightened with yellow green should be done for the weekend now.
