Airfix Bren Carrier and 6lb AT gun, and ArmourFast Pz IV D, North Africa 1942

Better catch up with the boys LOL

Victim No. 1

opps
Image

Not too many parts to get up tight about and victim No. 2 the victim of the AT
I got this 5+ years ago so can't find the receipt but currently is £7.56 for 2, so under £5 for a single
Image

Even less pieces, so a DAK desert scenario to come.

Whilst doing a garage/attic tidy out for lockdown, I found some 40+ year old Airfix 1/76 DAK figures I used to play with when I was 7 or 8, rolling marbles at each others soldiers with my brother!

More soon?

You certainly are Adam

1st victim, no tools which could be difficult to replicate with scratchery!

Here it is

definitely made for wargamers, nothing to drop/knock off!

A small piece of North Africa and we will see how it all turns out

Thanks for popping by

More soon?

Just about Shawn

It is very basic, so I will see if I have the bits to scratch up some tools!

The Bren carrier is being some what difficult, as it seems to be out of square,

More next week?

Very nice project Steve - I just stumbled across the whole "mini-GB" - may join in, let's see :D .

The tabletop kit looks nice for what it is... but at least moulded on tools would have been nice. :lol:


Best regards

I have ordered the RAF tropical paint set.

I can see the micro scenario, a blown up/surrendering Pz IV D faced down by a 6 lb AT
with the hurricane flying over a palm tree
We will see
