DAK 3rd battalion

This is my 3rd 20mm Rapid Fire! DAK infantry battalion , just out of the final spray.

You can see Revell german winter infantry just repainted for the desert and also a figure from the pioneer box.

New heads and equipment for these ones.

Chinese airfix (bigger) goes well with the old Atlantic figures I like so much (PSR site don´t but that is ok for me).

New heads for these Hat figures from another Hat set glued with normal pastic cement (great improvement, don´t need to stick my fingers with nails no more).

With new head and Keffiah.

Matchbox 1/72nd scale Corvette converted to Destroyer

This is the heavily scratchbuilt Destroyer based on the 1/72nd Matchbox Corvette. The different parts are made out of Evergreen plastic. This is a piece to use on beach landing support Wargames with D-Day in mind.

The 7 last photos are of another kit built straight from the box .

I want to say a great obrigado to José Miguel Mendes who send me loads of excellent information on this desert campaign. Without him this work would have been almost impossible.
