Well that came out nicely:

Needs to dry, then on the windowsill to cure tomorrow, then paint.

Very nice!

Is that a D7? There might be something in it to make those commercially available. Useful from Dieppe to Da Nang and Falaise to Falujah.

It would need to be significantly modified to cast. There are some VERY fiddly bits!

Well, just saying... 1/50 is the standard size for diecast collectors construction equipment and if you’ve seen the prices those things go for.

I’d happily grab one or two, especially if you made a Rome Plow to go on the front. Actually, if you did the armoured versions some of the fiddly bits could be dispensed with.

Undercoat

Looking superb with an undercoat.

Slightly OTT, does anyone know what sort of dozer they flew in with the Chindits? They were glider borne IIRC.

The Royal Calgary Tank Regiment

Wow, that looks gorgeous, but I'm afraid you have given them a title they hadn't earned at the time! In 1942, they were the 14th Canadian Army Tank Regiment (The Calgary Regiment). They didn't become the King's Own Calgary Regiment until after the war.

Growing up in the Calgary, through, we just called them the Calgary Tanks.

Thanks!

I couldn't get my head around the change to KOCR as it's all mixed together.

It's confusing, the regiment's designation changed several times, even in the middle of the war! But what a fantastic job you've done creating these

Thanks

I've decided that the pic shows the rehearsal and it looks very light so probably a commandeered civilian version in yellow. That would have been repainted by the workshops and seeing as all the tanks are service drab....

It still needs shading and weathering and the driver is temporary!

Dam, they're all very lovely.
