My contribution to this group build is Special Hobby's L-4 Grasshopper. It's the first time I build something from SH. I can't wait to get started but I'm in Puglia South Italiy at the moment. No sun btw, just rain and more rain...  The review I found on the kit is promising, the wheels however look pretty simplified so I'll have to replace these by aftermarket ones if I can score them somewhere. The box.  A D Day Grasshopper. 
I'm not sure which markings to use yet. Please feel welcome to jump by. Best regards! |

Which markings are provided with the kit ? "From Africa to Central Europe" it's a bit generic ...

After a small search, from what I can see, maybe 2 US markings, 
And I also found they have a set for the wheels

The SH wheels look marvelous with the sag in them. I'll check the markings.

Four different decal options come with the kit, I'll defo go for the 59-Y which landed in Paris after its liberation, it also had D-Day stripes as it was one of in total four L-4's operating during Overlord.  |
