Suprastar3000 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hello again modellers. Special Duties Lizzie Another 1/48 dio from me. Not a new build, but fixed a few issues along the way and remade the base as the original was quite large which involved remaking the road as I wanted more depth. Working map lights, spot lights, propeller and fire beacon for the SOE agent and pilot to navigate to. Shame it was an ambush. Runs of a programmable board but its normally running random cycles. Not fab pics but my heyfever and limited time, this is the best i could do. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Excellent representation of the perils faced by brave men and women and your finished diorama leaves the viewer pondering "will they/won't they" manage to escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Wow! That's very good indeed, with an element of Panic! built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a static diorama, the chance of them getting away seems minimal, but with the prop spinning and lights on there is still hope. Im just willing that pilot to throttle up and taxi out. Its going to be a close call! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Great models, figures and presentation. The working things really bring it to life. This is one diorama that I would really like to see in person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon J Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 It doesn't look good for the pilot and SOE agents getting away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look good for 2020 but next year I shall try and attend some shows. 1 hour ago, Gordon J said: It doesn't look good for the pilot and SOE agents getting away! The pilot is just about to reach in and push the throttle open. The fire behind will get a big blast of prop wash sending clouds of sparks and ash everywhere. They have a chance....

Could't think of another aircraft type other than the trusty Lysander that would allow for such a compact battle and aircraft combo. Will certainly try and get some better photos soon.
