Very much so. Great modelling and fun to work out which units are shown and identify the vehicles. I see a Chaffee and a Hellcat, a little bit before their time however. The US amphibious troops have done well to get as far as Caen (to judge by the wall advert) with their legs still wet and the Airborne have certainly been widely scattered to be there. (As indeed would have been any US Army unit that far west). Great detail work. Love the M4A3 105 with all its kit and weathering and the M8 A/C. Great find! |

West? I meant East……too late to salvage my reputation (such as it is!) |

You missed the anachronistic appearance of the 8.8cm Flak 18 Sfl. auf 12 to Zugkraftwagen in 1944, or whenever this is set. The last ones were destroyed in March 1943. VonAbt seem to have moved on from 12" action figures, which is a shame I think. |

WOW !!!!!! 😱 What a Diorama !!!!! 🤯 Did not know the last 8.8cm Flak 18 Sfl. auf 12 to Zugkraftwagen was destroyed in '43. But it does make sense. |

I did wonder what that German vehicle mounting an 88 was. With that high profile I am not surprised they were all destroyed by 1943! It is great work and obviously the creator has just packed in as many figures as possible….and what figures they are too! I did enjoy seeing the optimistic SS man trying to load an 88 shell into a 37mm A/T gun in pic 8. Great find this is. |

Nice figs – I did wonder about; i) there being a 37mm ATG in 1944 – even with the the Stielgranate 41 ii) why the loader has an 88 mm shell and iii) as to the Zugkraftwagon, I think they build under 20 and as noted by 1943 they had all been dstroyeed |

Fantastic diorama, I recognize those figures as King and Country as I have many of them for my 60 mm army. |

Lots happening in "cette village francaise." The 101st soldiers enjoying their wine best be careful! |
