D-Day - Allied Landings in France in 1944

 

This is the first time I've built this little jewel from Tamiya since it was released... say, 10 years ago?

I built it for our D-Day themed local club gathering and the only additional detailing was some wires behind the front panel. Unfortunately, it disappeared when the windshield installed.

Praised as the best and the most accurate Jug model in 1/72, I did enjoy building it using Gunze paints, Alclad, Testors metalizer and the kit's decal.

Enjoy.
