Hey guys,

I thought I'd share photos from my trip to the Imperial War Museum last April. This was before my Normandy tour. Enjoy.


My Nephew and I in front of the IWM






Jagdpanther (Detail): Headlight


Range instrument of a British 25-pounder Artillery Piece. Notice how the cone illustrates the parabolic curves that shells take when fired.


A new entry on my bucket list: fly a Spitfire.


Original trench signage. Still bearing the scars of "the great war", this warning board hangs with numerous others in the World War 1 section of the Imperial War Museum.

That's the original zimm job by the way. Schwere pz abt 654 (subject of my kit) lost this one in a duel with churchills. 3 hits to the engine compartment.
