Thanks Ian,

Alas, there's no Firefly in the picture.

I guess you're referring to the first one, which is an M4A2 from the 27th AB, named Balaclava.

Thanks!

Dave, I apologize. The turret box threw me off. I should have known from the gun mantle. A great looking M4A2, nonetheless. Very crisp finish.


Best wishes, Ian

Don't worry about that Ian, it kind of looks like a firefly.

Great Centaur Steph, guess were both racing for DDay.

Dave - Those two Shermans look fantastic!

Steph - The Centaur is coming along nicely, good work on that turret decal, that must have been fun to apply.

Tom - Spiffy looking Sherman, love that Indian insignia.

Lap Man - Great progress on the AVRE, assembling the suspension is definitely the hardest part, the rest of the kit goes together quite nicely, although the mortar has some tiny pieces.

I finally got back to my AVRE Mk.IV, painting weather arrived just in time. Pretty sure I can knock this off by the deadline.

Here are the final pictures of the M4 Sherman for the D-Day Campaign.

There are a lot of great models already done and I'm sure the many more are still to come.
The same photos are in the campaign photo gallery









Now it is time to look for the next model for the 70th Anniversary D-Day Campaign.

Irvin, really great Cromwell! I love the wading stacks! She's still a bit clean, but then again, they shouldn't be all very dusty.

Eman, good luck with the painting!

Steph, thanks for the kind words! Your Centaur also is superb!

Guys, one more day, good luck to all and to forget to post at least one picture in the gallery!

Thanks!

Dave
