  This is an out of the box model except for a slight adjustment in the cockpit. I removed the molded on map holder on the back of the pilot's seat and remade it with paper maps and a masking tape pouch.

  The rest of the model was built as per the planS.

  The fit was a bit off in places, especially around the transparencies.

  The engine is nicely detailed but there is no option in the kit to display it, the cowlings would require surgery to be able to position them open.

  The plane is in the markings of a machine belonging to V Corps Field Artillery of the U.S. Army at the time of D-Day.

  The identification stripes are decals but, the ones for the wings are too short and do not meet up so required a swift paint job to hide the gap.

  The Jeep and figures are "spares" I had built them for another project, but it never happened!

  The pilot, the guy in the cool shades, is a resin figure which is included in the kit. 

  The other figures are fromTamiya and Verlinden.

  The base is a piece of board covered in model railway grass matting which has been weathered with various pigments.

  I photographed the model on a rare sunny day in the UK against a blue sky.
