These are traps, the tracks come builded!!! it's a joke

Very nice start Ian, I like this little scratch piece!

 

[eddiesolo]

Nice work on those exhaust stacks, in 1/72 scale too! Should make some superb D-D tanks Ian.

So

Nice work scratching the ...er what are they? forgive me Ian ,ive got no idea when it comes to armour , i can only hazard a guess its some sort of snorkel to stop water getting in the engine during beaching etc ? Either that or the drivers got really bad eyes and its a BIG magnifying periscope!! cheers tony

 

[Guest]

Yeah!! eleven pieces...!!

They are snorkels Tony used so they could wade in to shore from further out to save the landing craft

 

[eddiesolo]

Looking great Ian.
