Simon Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone Just finished my little diorama depicting 159 Sqn Liberator VI KH408 "Lady X", so here are a few piccies. The WiP thread can be seen here. It's take over a year, off and on, and I hate to think how much it eventually cost... A big thank you to Byron Boyd for the Hasegawa turrets, and to everyone else who has helped during the build - much appreciated folks! Anyway, on with the photos, and first up a couple of overall views: Videoaviation's Clarktor Tractor: Airfix Matador refueller: Oil can support for the tail: Now, smile everyone: Cheers Simon Edited July 5, 2017 by Simon relinking images from Photobucket to Flickr 48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 It was certainly well worth the effort, one of the most realistic dioramas I've seen and you've even included the metal planking for the airfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
