Unsure as to put this in dioramas or Aviation Modelling ! So stuck it here because its really about the Fighter.
Last year a friend of mine who's called Dom asked me if i could build him a BF110 in the codes that shot down his great Uncle's P/O Cyril T Anderson. Avro Lancaster EA * D. ED702 of 49 Squadron, so i said yes which turned out to be a right old headache but after doing several net searches about this type of fighter and with the help of Dom contacting Luftwaffe specialists over the water we where able to build the correct looking aircraft, The kit itsself is an Eduard 1/48th kit and is supposed to be the queen of kits but is full of faults Halfway through the build of this model my friend decided that a diorama would look nice to set the model, so the build got even more complicated as we had to source German figures/tools and equipment. The diorama base is actually a picture frame which makes them ideal for dio' bases and the inner edge of the frame has a recess in which the clear perspex cover was fitted over to finish the job off.
The night fighter is depicted as BF 110 CE *G9 and was piloted by Lt Hienz Grimm who was shot down by German
AA fire and was seriously injured when he bailed out and died later in hospital.
