Hello boys,
Here is my finished 'Crash' diorama.
Having no reference pickies, I had to just try and guess what the scene might have looked like.
It's in 1/72 and consists of a very old Airfix B-17 and Airfix USAAF personnel. The sheds are scratch built. (See my "We made it!" build thread)
The crippled aircraft has made an emergency landing shortly after crossing the Channel from a raid. One engine has been destroyed and the bomber is badly damaged......
After landing, the aircraft has skidded along the grass and has smashed into some huts....Luckily these were only used for storage and no one was inside. On coming to a stop, the starb'd undercarriage leg has collapsed. The ground crew are busy taking bits off and the aircrew are looking at the wreck....A Provost Marshal stands guard.
I hope you approve of this dio., I must confess to loosing the buzz with this on a couple of occasions, but all ended up O.K.
Thanks for looking,
Cheers,
Ron
