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.

Stuka down ...

Picked up a cheap model of a Stuka at a Toy&Train fair a couple of months ago - finally decided what to do with it - made iinto one which had been shot down but managed to reach the ground in one piece and 'belly flopped'.
Something for the home guard to check out ..
