Traction Avant, II/JG26, Guyancourt, France, June 1944.

[Airframes]

Something a little different in the way of a JG26 model - a II Gruppe staff car!
This is the Tamiya 1/48th scale kit, and will be an item of 'set dressing' in a diorama portraying FW190A8's of 7/JG26 in early June, 1944, at dispersal in their wooded hides on the airfield at Guyancourt. There's a couple of areas requiring re-touching, and this will be done when the model is placed in its setting.

that looks great and a bit small Dogsbody, how many times did you drop it ?

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Red two. Only dropped it twice, surprisingly - although it nearly learned to fly on numerous occassions, accompanied by some choice Germanic phrases!!

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done Terry!

Thanks Matt. If all goes to plan (yeah, right!) it shouild be one of a number of small cameos in the overall diorama.
