There are more than a few touches of genius there, the light fixture being one of them! Funny how you look at various household items as a modeller, thinking, 'you know, that would make an excellent...' 😂 So very true - I am constantly gathering odd bits that the wife has abandoned to the rubbish bin.

Eduard just released Blaich's Bf-108 in 1/32 scale, what about using Revell's JU-88 in 1/32? A 1/32 scale Sonderkommando Blaich diorama would be very impressive! The Taifun is such a beautiful machine, I wonder what Theo Blaich's aircraft looked like when it was first delivered - was it finished in civilian or Luftwaffe markings?

A most convincing depiction of desert sands! The whole diorama looks excellent. I tend to think that older kits contribute well to dioramas, as the viewer is less concerned with such details while taking it all in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he was a civilian farmer, most likely in civilian colors would be my guess. Now if only HK would make a 1/32 Condor! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeddahbill Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Many, many thanks for the kind comments! I did very much enjoy this build, even with the ancient Airfix He-177. These old kits were my introduction to styrene kit modeling back in the 1960's and they still hold a special place with me. Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
