Enjoy 4 minutes of scale modelling highlights with all the finished entries of #TonyTonyTony.
It's been fantastic to see the #histscalemodels community come together working on a rather narrow theme.
Very well done you all and thank you again for making this happen 👏👏

I like that plan 👍

My cunning plan is to build a 111, then build another 111, then put them side by side, put some Marvin Gaye on speakers and dim the light.

Two months for two 111, should be doable 🙂

Slightly Caddish @jaaaagirr.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah, I thought about that and invested in two Eduard sets 🤣

Slightly Caddish @jaaaagirr.bsky.social · 2d

Good spot, however everything is double so there might be spares already inside 😁

Continuing this month with #HeaviesGB I find myself in front of a veritable heap of plastic.
That might take a while to get sorted..

I like the olive drab + neutral grey scheme 👍

Twin propellers are looking awesome 😎

I am taking notes here 🙂

His books tend to be on the extensive side, Battle of Britain as reference.

Very nice, Piekalkiewicz was my entry point in history books many many moons ago

Not entirely sure if a blip qualifies as 'Heavy', but a Zeppelin (Staaken) R.VI definitely would 🙂

Something a bit different this week for #histbookchat, not the story of a campaign or a division, but rather one single man - Lauri Allan Törni:
A soldier who served in three armies and earned
the Cross of Mannerheim,
an Iron Cross,
a Bronze Star,
a Purple Heart
and One Distinguished Flying Cross.
