Phil M. Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I've been wanting for a long time to create this diorama, as I love this scene from jaws 2 when I was a kid. Its so over the top. So I bought an old MRC kit for the bell helicopter HTL-4 (1:35) cause I wasnt able to find a Hughes 269B. I think the same HTL-4 kit is made by Academy now. I Add half a shark (PNSO megalodon) and a vietnam war helicopter pilot found on ebay and voilà...really glad I used the HTL-4 cause its more dramatic to see inside the cockpit. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikT Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 One of my favourite scenes as well. I remember laughing hysterically when I saw the movie as a kid. Your diorama is first rate! The water is so realistic, and I love the sense of motion the whole scene has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
