I have been working more on terrain than anything else and this is a bit of an unusual terrain feature. This is a British Horsa Glider used during the Normandy landings, Market Garden and Operation Varsity. Primarily used by the British it was also used, to a limited extent, by the American glider forces as well as it was big enough to transport small vehicles like jeeps and pack howitzers. This is a 1/56th scale (more or less) kit from Sarissa Precission out of the UK.

Here are a few pictures, it has yet to go through the painting booth. I have also included the links to the blog postings if you want to see the trails and tribulations of this little lasercut MDF kit.

That is an interesting read.

I look forward to the next installment.

As someone who has found Dale's RV a challenge, I am full of admiration for your work on this kit.

Hopefully it won't be to long before I'm ready to paint. I like to have several things to work on when I fire up the airbrush and use that time as efficiently as I can.
