[panda1gen]

There is not currently enough allied stuff to do a thread like arnhem and the bulge, but I thought I might kick off a thread to post desert pics in????

This first offering is from a custom built diorama in Louis' collection - thanks to Louis for allowing people to see his fabulous collection....

Great choice of a thread Kevin. I'm hoping to post some new Desert War stuff when I finally get home.
Best Regards

Thanks, I love the desert stuff myself, I had an uncle in the RA on 25pdrs in the desert and my primary school Head was also a (wounded) vet from the desert.

Plus the toy soldiers are great. I hope you forgive some oldies......

Brad, I was admiring the twin engined RAF plane partially shown in the shots, is it a beaufighter?

Brad the pics are good! I like the set up of the of the 150mm field gun, well done.

Same here and I'm pretty sure that it is a Beaufighter - nice.

Brad - any chance of Beaufighter pics? I love that plane.......

Meanwhile back in the desert..............some rare stuff.......

It all looks fantastic Kevin- thanks for the shots of the older stuff as well- you certainly have a collection any collector would dearly treasure!!

Strangly enough, although the Beaufighter was a much better aircraft, I actually prefer the Beaufort - probably cos I had the old 1/72 Frog model when I was a kid.
