Re: falaise gap painting
very nice, proof that a second class air force can cost a great deal....only flaw I see is the shovel on the front armor of the mid/late tiger tank.
Re: falaise gap painting
they did still carry them.

Re: falaise gap painting
Look at the head lights. When the head light was moved to the front armor from the hull deck, the shovel brackets were no longer installed.....or so I have read.....fantastic painting, you friend really good. 
Re: falaise gap painting
they still had them mounted!.
Re: falaise gap painting
YUP, your right, I checked my notes and they were still putting on the shovel mounts till jan 44.....sorry
Re: falaise gap painting
Superb painting, its now my desktop background. The retreat from the Falaise Gap must surely be made into a film someday, hopefully if they do use CGI they will do the research first!
Re: falaise gap painting
Wouldn't the colours of the spinner on the prop be a blur? Just nit picking.
Re: falaise gap painting

Re: falaise gap painting
Fantastic pictures Tony. Is that my Wirbelwind brewing up at the rear of the column !! My late father would kill me if he knew I modelled Gerry Armour. He was an RAF armourer during WW2 with the second tactical airforce and he actually bombed up the Typhoons (Tiffys) that wacked the German armour at Falaise.
Do you realize how much I hate this uniform and all it stands for. ( Cross of Iron )
