French Gendarmerie Alouette III
Completed a little side project this weekend. A very old Heller kit. I plan to use this in an upcoming scenario. The kit is a little vague on assembly instructions however with a few google searches you will find suitable images to help. I have added two Elhiem pilots but I did need to cut the seat height down by a few mm. I have given it a single coat of clear Matt varnish, I think it may need another. Overall quite happy with the build, now to build a carry case!
Cheers

NATO pilots and ground crew
Another small project completed. A mix of Airfix and Esci Miniatures. The pilots are a mix of RAF, USAF and Luftwaffe. I could not resist painting some of the ground crews in aircraft carrier jackets.

Panzerkampfwagen AMR35 VMF701 (f) 81mm
Completed two panzerkampfwagen AMR35 VMF701 (f) 81mm mortars for my 91st Luftlande division for Normandy. The either served in the 91st or the 11th Panzer, Wikipedia article
A mix of Battlefeild/Blitz and AB crew. I did add numbers which the originals did not have according to the images in the salvage dump in Manche, Normandy. The location of the dump points towards the 91st Division..
