Badder Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hi Ratch. If you'd photographed that with a plain back drop on a plain surface, I'd have thought that was in 1/35th scale. , Excellent job. I particularly like the weathered whitewash and exposed brickwork. I like everything else too, but to me that is what makes your diorama stand out. Now, I must confess that when I saw this diorama I had one of those 'shiver down the spine' moments, not deja-vu, but a kind of very vague and distant memory, jogged. I am 52 years old, but I do have a vague feeling that I saw this kit when I was extremely young... maybe 5yrs old??? Can you tell me when it was first 'released'?

Rearguards Badder That's high praise indeed Airfix originally issued this kit in 1972, so you're not far out This was basically a re-paint, but I have another that I'd like to do more work on at some point in the future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
