Bomb damage was my original goal, but at the last minute I decided to add something extra.
I had intended to use a bust Hurricane fighter I used for a previous diorama, but decided there was too much damage to the buildings.
So I ended up using the Dornier do17 from the same dio.
The stricken aircraft has buried it's nose into 29/31.
On the Do 17, the outer wings were joined on just outboard of the engines. Here is where I cut through the plastic. Then burned and bent things and added some broken cables etc.
The port wing had severed off completely. The stbd. one hangs by a thread. The already weakened tail section, cracked and ruptured, and almost broken off, sags down.
I've added a couple of RAF figures. A pilot and a member of the ground crew.
The pilot, the famous Sdn. Ldr. Wright R. Suppards, is the one who shot down the enemy bomber. He too was shot down during the attack on the enemy formation, but survived and has come along to view his 'kill' and perhaps grab a souvenir...
Anyway, that is what my imagination came up with and I hope you accept it as such.
So at last. here is the end result and thanks again for all your input.
B & W first, then some colour ones to follow.
I'll post some colour ones as well to kind'a balance things up a bit.....That's my excuse any road up!
I hope the above selection passes muster and thanks for looking in.
It's been fun making the model and reading you most excellent contributions along the way.
Cheers.
