Sure looks that way Vic. It's something I've wanted to do too, but haven't got the display space.

Anyone working on adding a Tardis to their home? It should solve the storage problem but the electric bill might be a deal breaker.

Nice work on the wing and I see the fiber pens in use. Nice set of figures as well Evan.
Looks good so far!

Repairing my damage to the tailplanes last night (not finished).
Will use rubber bands to clamp them next time.

Nice work Evan, but I worry about the accuracy of those Paras, not a single one has a "Tache" !

Some neat work there Evan.
Just a note for the diorama. The Italeri Pegasus bridge box art shows a red beret (actually maroon) displaying the Parachute Regiment cap badge.
This is incorrect, as the troops were from the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry ( Ox & Bucks), a glider borne unit of 6th Airborne Divn., and not paratroops.
Although uniforms (including beret) and equipment were the same, the cap badge was the brass hunting horn of the Light Infantry Brigade. Also, paratrooper wings were not worn on the right shoulder of the Dennison smock by this unit.
However, it is more likely that the steel para helmets were worn anyway, until combat was over, with the possible exception of a radio operator.

Cheers guys. Definitely won't be following the box art Terry, even the condition and attitude of the Horsa (#1, PF800) is very inaccurate.
