Ok guys I know its been a while and my diorama with plastic models wasnt working out. But! I did stay with the project of converting my upstairs room to a WW2 airplane haven. I repainted the room, built some shelves, and now am in the process of filling the room with 1:72 die cast planes, as...

Thanks for the info guys, I went to my nearest B&N and found some things but nothing really good, the bargain section was rather picked over.

Anyone know any good ww2 aircraft books, with pictures descriptions/details? I have some general aircraft books, but am looking for some more focused on those of ww2. Amazon.com: Complete Book of World War II Combat Aircraft: Enzo Angelucci, Paolo Matricardi, Peirluigi Pinto: Books Has anyone...

Thanks for the info Airframes, seeing as I wont be able to do 30 feet I will just do the best portion I can, including the buildings which Im sure I will have to make custom:shock: :lol: And since this is just a smaller airfield I will just use short grass for the runway. I dont think the...

I found this, its kind of interesting. Me 163B airfields: Wittmundhafen

Thanks, Wayne. The wife will let me change an entire room into a diorama, but she may not let me buy 300+ dollars worth of airbrush equipment. So I may stay with the brush... One more question. The runways were short grass, but for a 262 it would need to be longer, anyone have photos of a small...

Yeah, easier to thin acrylic also, but this brings up a good point. Can I do a good enough job without an airbrush? Considering some of the elaborate camo patterns....Ive been debating this over the last few weeks. Also, is it safe to say the runway would be short grass? or did they have some...

I dont know if '44 would be considered early for the 262 or not. They were produced earlier but never saw action until 44. Also, I think im missing some of those colors for acrylic. The majority of my paint is enamel, should I switch to acrylic? I would need to run to the store again then :)...

Yeah Ive been taking my time, a little too much maybe for some of you :lol: I have narrowed down that I want it to take place in late 1944. If it were any earlier I wouldnt be able to have half the axis involved. Also the location will be an "action station", a small airstrip the germans made...

Looks really good thus far!

One thing kinda holding me up, Im debating paint schemes for early me-262s, ive got alot of pictures but I am undecided. Any suggestions? early photos dont really indicate any sort of pattern.

I could use some help if you want, I could mail you some tickets to come help me:D

With the diorama? Nope, or I would be posting more pics:lol:
