These four I just got done with two days ago; two helicopters and two gliders from WWII D-Day invasion.

First is the USAAF Waco glider by Italeri:

Very nice work Mark! The method of transport has changed in those, but the basic concept of delivering troops and equipment from the sky are shown here. :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

Thank you Tom!

Thank you Mike!

Thank you Carlos! Yeah, it's an interesting perception. With these completed, I now have gliders from the US, Britain, Germany and Russia.
