Sounds cool! I'm in with a Tamiya 1/48th TF. Mk. X Bristol Beaufighter with invasion stripes.
This ought to be lots of fun, can't wait to get started and have a WIP to post.
Good luck all!

Well I am in, a P 47 D, based at Oxted 20th June 1944.
Yep Gabreski`s mount,
1/48 scale Academy version.
This will be fun.

This is really cool - Count me in too. I'm going to build up the much maligned 1:48th scale Academy Spitfire Mk.XIVc kit I've had laying around for 10+ years. Looking forward to all the WIP posts.

Nice one Frank, any ideas yet ?

Darn you beat me to that, was searching my stash and actually have Gabreski's mount P-47D-25, the Hasegawa kit in those markings in the D-Day time frame. So don't want to duplicate. Have the markings for a Spitfire, but don't have the kit for the correct variant to apply them too.

Hi Neil, I got my kit at a swap that did not include some of the parts-like two of the prop blades spinner backing plate and the machine guns for the wings. Am I going to be in violation of the OOB directive if I use an after market prop? If so, I can switch my build from the Mk. XIVc to an Mk. IX of 602 Squadron...

Just an open message to everyone in the groupbuild, as it is not possible to add a reply to individual posts like we do on the" front page" I will read the group build page everyday and try to answer your questions or remarks en masse.
Martin asked me to act as the administrator for this project and I have to admit I was a bit nervous and didn't really know what it entailed but up to now it has been a lot of fun so thanks to you all.

I'm in as well, couldn't resist as Dad jumped into Normandy with the 101st Airborne. Celebrated his 92nd birthday last Saturday, His body parts are wearing out but the mind is still there! Told us kids the left engine was on fire when his stick when out the door and flak so thick you could walk on it. Followed a parachute flare all the way down so he was somewhat hidden from all the gound fire coming up.
