Thanks for the invite, Louis!

I finally am joining all these great builds happening here, but, like I did in the EoJ Group, I have to be different. So I'm throwing in with non-winged subjects but still fits the Groups "rules". Two vignettes displaying Luftwaffe Fallschirmjagers.

One vignette using the Tamiya Schwimwaggen.
The other a PAK 40.
The troopers in each "dio" will be a combination from figs kit and the figs from the PAK 40 kit.

Hope you enjoy following along.
As always...KEEP IT FUN!

Looking forward to seeing these as they come together. I love the "variation on a theme" approach you are taking! Inspires me to build an old Tamiya Pz.IV I have and dress it up in markings of the Herrman Georing Division in Sicily circa 1943.

These are some great entries, my friend @gwskat!
Looking forward to them!

Gary, @gwskat
I don't know how I did it, but I seemed to have missed your initial posting when you starting this endeavor. Please accept my apologies for not responding to you sooner.

I really like this new idea that you came up with... and having seen how magnificent your Empire of Japan project was, with the US military dogs, GI's and the knocked out Chi-Ha tank display, I am as excited as ever to see what you will come up with next.

By the looks of things, the Tamiya Schwimwaggen looks to be a fast and fun build. I have this same kit in the 1/35 scale armor stash... and the matching VW Kubelwaggen...

You just might have tempted me to build the Kubelwaggen to go alongside the 1/32 scale Revell Uhu. I already have the airfield base completed, and these two would go together like peanut butter and jelly, hot dogs and hamburgers, you get the idea. 🙂

Great preperation, Gary.
