Made it!!! After working all day I have finally got my entry to an acceptable standard. It needs tweeking, and I would like to have taken the photo by day, but it's there! I intended to put in a crew, tiedown the jeep, put in more cargo and netting. Still, it's better than nothing. It is 2326hrs, 34 minutes to D-Day. As you can see, its still wet!!

Thanks chum. Now I've got time I'm thinning down the rust a little, and maybe I'll get a better picture tomorrow in daylight.

Looks good Winchweight. It's a good thing the actual invasion had to be postponed a day or you might of not made it. :-)

It was close. The model still needs refinement, but at least it's there for the deadline. Just the Commonwealth GB to complete now.

Hope this works. I've posted some more up dated pics of my DUKW and also a couple of shots of my SAS Pinkie.
