TEXANTOMCAT Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 One of mine from a few years ago - using the Metcalfe card 'Hangar' and the Airfix 504 (I've since added a Roden lorry and aeroscreens to the aircraft) hopefully my dios are a bit better nowadays. Frederick Sage in Peteborough built 504s under licence and this was a diorama for Sywell Aviation Museum - probably the largest one I've done.

modelman182 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Nice one, TT Absolutely nothing wrong with that dio! It replicates the days when aircraft COULD be built by "a man and his mates in a shed". Albeit, a damn big shed! 😁 I particularly like the half completed roundels on the aircraft with the ladder leaning up against the upper wing - where's the bloke gone? Another tea break??? 😉 Cheers Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Thanks Kev well spotted on the roundels - I figured he'd nipped off for a brew having replaced the ailerons! The kids seem to like it in the Museum as its displayed at their eye level! Luckily I managed to pick up a number of Airfix 504s on the cheap - and over the years there have been five serial variations (some duplicated in reboxings) so each one has a different serial - albeit not all Sage built machines...but who will spot that!

Bandsaw Steve Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 504’s galore. A subject close to my heart. Congratulations on this lovely diorama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Thanks Steve - me too! Was lucky enough to have a flight in G-EROE a couple of years ago - 504s are close to my heart too which is why my office chair is a 504 seat and there's a prop, aeroscreen, stick, rudder pedals, strut and rudder in the house too!
