I started by cutting off the rear part of the fuselage and painted the interior

Fantastic finish, I like the diorama, Is that the Academy jeep?

Good evening Cheshiretaurus

Thank you for your comment , yes the jeep is the Academy one , the pilots and crew are the Airfix ones and the ''stand'' and accessories are the Italeri PSP
