BATTLE GROUP OVERLORD BUILD

Been cracking on with the Battle group Overlord build, the three squadrons of Shermans including their Fireflys are complete. Have since completed a platoon of infantry (three sections in all) along with their Bren gun teams. A platoon command team and a set of support infantry consisiting of Vickers MG crew and both 3” and 2” mortar crews all being transported by the trusty universal carriers.

Have also completed 3 allied M5 lend lease half tracks and 3 squads of dismounted armoured infantry. However I am currently building / painting some interesting opponents in the shape of 2 Panthers 3 panzer IV’s and grenadiers in SDK’s. The Panthers are being done as a group build for a competition being run on a fellow hobbyists you tube channel. Check out the link here drop by and say Hi if not already part of this community, or visit my Channel in the video bar above.

Next in line for the British will be some loyd carriers with 6 pounders for some heavy infantry anti tank support and planning on a few Churchills and AVRE’s, as well as another platoon of infantry.

Below are the Panzers in their built state awaiting the correct camouflage patterns that are a must for these late WW2 beasts. Got some plans for the Axis elements to. Really looking forward to this build now.          
The Germans will get their PAKs and 88’s along with  Tiger………………………..
