Pendraken's Gnomes worked hard to send me a large order of figures, including this Hamilcar Glider. It is a big beast, as you will see in comparison to the German Sd. 222 Armoured Cars. I painted it for D-Day, with the black/white recognition marks on wings and body. I think the underside should be black. But I'm not worrying about it.

Yes, I thought it looked a little truncated. I know the Horsa glider could split to allow easy egress, but I thought the Hamilcar loaded from the front?

Correct.

This is all I got in the package. I took a look at some aerial photos of landing zones and found that aircraft were missing all sorts of bits. So I guessed that this is it. There is no nose section either. Anyway, I'm satisfied.

That's all that matters . However it looks like you are missing bits which Leon and Dave are normally more than happy to replace. Worth contacting them?

You should ask the missing parts...

Not one to boast but I scratch built a 15mm Hamilcar and 5 Horsa's for a mate of mine who lives not far from techno
