Bailey Bridge

Used the Airfix kit to knock up a bailey bridge for my British forces to use ...

Glider safely down ....

Finally got round to making the Italeri Horsa glider kit given to me some time ago. As the finished item is intended as a scenic item only I left off a few pieces of the kit - mostly the undercarriage parts.

I did the white banding using inkjet sticky labels cut into strips; I gave the glider a quick coat of satin varnish (slightly glossy) to protect it a bit. The wings are held onto the fuselage with  blue-tak so I can store it more easily.

Here tis then, with some paratroopers look suitably busy getting themselves organized ....

Home Guard Town - Civilians (2) ...

Some more for my 'Home Guard'  town, (from Steve Barber Models 25mm Prohibition Wars range), a shopkeeper and some armed civilians - who could be used as Home Guard out of uniform or maybe black marketeers or fifth columnists.
