Suprastar3000 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Not sure why I'm really posting here to be honest. If its unappropriated please delete. I know technically some of these are Armour, but aircraft are in every scene, just haven't taken any pics from further back at this stage. Anyways,... here are some of my efforts. I have posted them before, but having been inspired by some of your work, I decided to scrape and rebuild them to what I hope was a slightly better standard. I have 6 in total, all built on plinths at 210 x 297mm When I get a chance, I will post some better photos,.. so I guess you could call these teaser pictures unill them.

Selwyn Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Your Jeep needs to be on OG or in a camouflage scheme. RAF vehicles were not blue in WW2. Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprastar3000 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Thank you guys. You're all very encouraging and kind. Much appreciated Just taken some better pics outside in natural light. First post updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprastar3000 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Your Jeep needs to be on OG or in a camouflage scheme. RAF vehicles were not blue in WW2. Selwyn Thanks for info. The scene is based around RAF Peterhead 19 Squardon - late war. Their P51s soon changed to blue white checkered nose. Technically they didn't carry the white identification stripes on the wing and fuselage with the camo scheme and black/yellow nose. The technical guys here will find plenty of other imperfections, Like a Russian GAZ lorry in Ondonga Airfield and a German airbase near Bastone, not to mention the sand coloured P-40 (although I did find a reference pic showing that colour / most people think it should be Olive) etc,... all part of the fun finding them.

Stosh65 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Those definitely belong here because they look great. Love the Mossie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewfl290 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Who cares if they're not 100% technically accurate, it seems like you already know that anyway (I wouldn't). These are some great models displayed with flair and lots to look at in each diorama, I particularly like the Fw190 with the camouflage netting thrown over and the Mosquito covered in snow. Lovely work and thanks for letting us see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hello Suprastar, I enjoyed your dioramas. Lots of detail. My favorite, "The snow diorama" Excellent job. Regards, Orion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDSModeller Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Very Nice set of diorama's. Nice to see the RNZAF P40 Gloria Lyons Couple of comments: Is the setting for your diorama in New Zealand or in the forward Pacific theatre? If in New Zealand, it would be after the P 40's returned home, so would be Olive Drab upper or later Foliage green/Sky Grey (Green/Blue colour). Reason I ask, is the tree looks like its Autumn or early Winter and the flying suit appropriate If in the Pacific, would be Green Olive Drab, and the pilot would be in Khaki's. Thanks for sharing your photos. Regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing your photos. Regards Alan This information is fantastic. To be honest, I can't say I have authentically represented either scenario 100% accurate. What I can tell you is this, The RNZAF P40 Gloria Lyons in most reference pictures was shown in Olive Drab,.... however,... I did find a photo on the web of a sand coloured p-40 (like those flying in Africa). Also, on the decor sheet i ordered from the US, the info quite clearly depicted a P-40 is both Olive Drab and sand. Thinking the Sand coloured P-40 looked more unusual I decided to go for that. The diorama is based at Ondonga Airfield (a former World War II airfield on New Georgia in the Solomon) Having researched this i found some pics showings more rough and ready air stripes with sandy coloured dirt runways. Again your spot on here,.. Palm trees and long grass would probably look better than my Autumn trees. Bang on with the Khaki's though . My only excuse is I borrowed the pilot and ground crew from another diorama. Maybe he is on his way to a fancy dress party. Yep, thats my excuse Great post Alan. Thanks for contributing.
