Military Modelling - Volume 47, No.6

In this issue

Welcome to Military Modelling Volume 47, Issue 6 which will land on your doormats a few days before the 73rd Anniversary of the D-Day landings. Across the globe, the media tends to focus only on the round numbers when it comes to anniversaries. Personally, I think we can all spare just a few minutes of our time to ponder on the major events in world history such as those that took place on the Normandy beaches. This huge logistical achievement has remained unsurpassed and, considering how clinical warfare works today, is likely to remain the largest seaborne invasion of all time. 156,000 men from 13 countries delivered by nearly 5,000 landing and assault craft and supported by nearly 300 escort vessels, unleashed against one common enemy on a single day in June 1944. Such an epic operation has left its mark on the landscape and I urge anyone interested in military history (who hasn’t already done so), to jump on a ferry and immerse yourself in one of the greatest operations of all time.
If you think you have a project that I might be interested in, please send me a message. Also, don’t forget www.militarymodelling.com, the magazine’s own popular website which has a vibrant forum covering every conceivable modelling subject.
