Boom city, a 1:72 little diorama


Recommended Posts

Good morning.

 

These picture inspired me:

I used the model of the Airfix 1:72 Chevrolet M6 bomb trailer, and here is the result:

You have the patience of a saint painting all those bombs the same-ish colours, and evertything else is spot on.  As far as vignettes go that is brilliant.  Sorry I have to say that again; that is brilliant.

What a great little diorama.

I can't say that I've ever seen a diorama of this, one of the most necessary areas of a bomber airfield before. 

First class work. 

It is a fact that logistics are not well represented. But it may also be due to the fact that this kind of vehicle recently arrived on the model market.

Excellent Eric! 

Are the B17s in the background photos or your models?

Cheers,

Ian

Hello Ian,

 

These are my models. As you can see under my avatar, I'm a bit silly of a B17. 

Here is a part of my collection:

I admit that I avoid (too much) drinking when I paint ...

What a great idea for a little diorama. I've got that Airfix USAAF bomber resupply set to build too, it looks a great kit.

The Airfix US refueling box is very good, and allows you to do a lot of things.
