Nick,

You're not doing my stash problems with this build. I see your dio will be of 11th Armoured Division vehicles.

That just happens to be the division that most of my son's vehicles are from but he doesn't have one of these.....

Keep up the great work.

Nick,

Oh I noticed right away but was waiting to see how the build turned out!!!!

The reasons I ended up choosing that formation are a truly embarrassing indictment of my lack of knowledge when I came back to the hobby about eight years ago. My son was six at the time a wanted to build a model kit..... And the rest is history.....

Keep up the great work.

I too am fascinated by their history, and most of my Normandy/NWE jones is focused apon them. I mostly get inspired by true accounts or good photos. In the past ive modelled them in 35th.....as below





23rd Hussars Colleville, Op Epsom.....aftermath (I found the names of units losses this day 29th June, so obscured the tanks 'T' no. in respect)
"The Ultimate Cost of Liberation"

They're very good Nick.

Just got this book on Operation Epsom by coincidence. I picked it up at a recent open day at a book wholesalers near-ish us for only £3.90....a quick check of reviews before I bought it were encouraging but even if it's not, for that price you can't complain.

ATB.

Reccomend any of the Over the Battlefied books, a birds eye view with great personal accounts.


Covers all units involved,but aids following the unit across the terrain.

Minor observation, and the solution, the styrene kit wheel are good ....but as with IM limitations the tread is.... vague or wrong.... so DTMW do wheelsets, 2 for Humber kit, Firestone & Dunlop Heavy Utility... and i identified 'my' Humbers' tyre tread patten as being of the Firestone type, which are available (i got 3 of each type, 5 more in stash)....While i was there shopping i also ordered his Cmnwlth Softskins PE detail set, his Tanker crewset #1 & #2, AFPU figure set.... No.19 AFV radio fronts & headphones PE set, lastly his 29th Armd Bde & HQ Sdn 11th Armd Div decalset lol
Gawsh.....
