Kresho Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi to all Brit-and-other-modellers ! First of all, this is my very first diorama, so don't be to critical on this work! Next one will be better, I hope. But this one is nice to me, so I hope You will enjoy. So, this is 1/48 Tamiya Mosquito FB VI with Austin Tilly (I know, wrong car in wrong place, forgive me); Nissen Hut and bomb trolley are Flightpath, RAF pilots and ground personel is Tamiya - Revell, starter trolley is 100% scratchbuilded. Diorama is dedicated to Max Guedj and his copilot Langley; 143 squadron, Banff Strike Wing; they lost their lifes 15.01.1945. over Norway. Thank's to everyone who help me with paint scheme, because I couldn't find any photo of this particular aircraft, including mr. Gordon Leith, from Hendon RAF Museum. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickthebrief Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That is superb. The "night" shot is particularly effective. Nick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wonderful job! What a great diorama. The black and white shots are very effective and atmospheric, particularly the second one. A fine memorial to the brave crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Bravo! That is just a work of art I too really like the night black and white photo. If it wasn't on this site I'd swear it was real. Congratulations .....inspirational that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selwyn Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The Tilly is not in the wrong place at the wrong time in this story. Its in army markings and could conceivably be the Army liason officer visiting the RAF station. If it was in RAF markings - then that would have been wrong!

rmcclure Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Well I don't know how you'll make the next dio better because this is just superb work! As the others have said, the B&W shots are super atmospheric - straight out of a period magazine article. A real pleasure to look at.

Kresho Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 surpurb diaroma , very life like. Pardon my ignorance but whats the story behind the Tilly ? i dont have a clue about RAF vechicles The story is...RAF has never used Austin Tilly in WW2, they used some other vehicles. But Tamiya put in one limited edition box Mossie together with Austin, and also they have shown a wrong - RAF- paint scheme, which is nice to see but it's not accurate. That's what I know, I learned that on this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James G Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 That is a brilliant diorama. If I have one small nitpick, it's the trees! I would personally use wire trees coated in filler and painted if you are going for the winter 'bare trees' look. But overall superb modelling.
