Thanks JR I knew out of all the guys you would understand.
Thanks Jakko that is a great idea and it would have worked too. It’s good to have you around
Mate, I’ve been called far worse than that over the years. I won’t worry if you don’t. :tears-of-joy:
Don't worry Dave, it's an easy mistake to make
Dave? I thought he was Christine?
That’s JR’s wife Lol
Thanks Tim. It’s forgotten
This will be my second build. It’s a straight forward kit so there should be no problems. I’ll be adding more details to it also. The kit comes with a base that Replicates it’s on the water I’m going to try to improve that also. I’m getting out of my Comfort zone with this kit. 
Excellent choice Lee!

Funny, just today a modeller friend of mine tried to interest me in the 1:35 scale Italeri counterpart that also comes with a bunch of infantry. I declined, I have enough I want to build already 
I know the feeling. I’ve had this thing in storage for many years so might as well build it that’s what I bought it for at time. I think it will give me some good experience or a good defeat lol.
Even though I have quite a few kits in WIP, being new to the forum I'd really like to take part in this GB, to get to know you guys a bit better. It's also a pretty important subject and I had a great Uncle in the SAS who was killed not long after D-Day.
So I've been mulling over my entry for the last week or so. I did consider building a P-47 but thanks to the encouragement you all have given me in my Sherman build, I really do feel I'm finally, after 15 years of wanting to, breaking into 1/35 Armour modelling and I'd like to continue that Journey.
I do have both a Tamiya Willys Jeep and Italeri GMC 6x6 Truck with relevant June 1944 markings, and I may still build one or the other, but what I really fancy building is one of these...
I've checked Scalemates and the kit does come with June 1944 in Normandy decals. Not the most successful of designs, but a fun subject.
I might even see if I can do a simple base for it.
Cheers
AJ.

After searching deeper I found a better LCVP Landing Craft. This will be the one I’ll be building. I can’t believe I missed this one. This will save me a lot of work on the other one. I will use some of the figures from the Pegasus kit for this one. I Just ordered it 
Very nice Arnold I like it.Even though I have quite a few kits in WIP, being new to the forum I'd really like to take part in this GB, to get to know you guys a bit better. It's also a pretty important subject and I had a great Uncle in the SAS who was killed not long after D-Day.

I built two when they were first released, and quite liked putting them together. Only thing is that they don’t come with a crew, but you’ve got the other kit to pillage that from, of course
I'm sorry. What heresy is this?
I'd like to take a swing at this - it's a great topic.
I have absolutely no idea what I will build, but given that t can be pretty much anything Allied and D-day related I feel confident that I'll find something, probably with black and white stripes, but you never know
I'll probably miss the starting gun, but I'll join in when I can.

Your right I do that was one good thing of keeping that kit so many years lol.

This just arrived in the post! I will hold off opening it until the start date but i'm set now!
