Well, here she is at last. Could be better in parts, and, as mentioned in the final 'build' post, I need to take some better detail shots, and I also need to add some wood trim to the base edges. But, this little vignette diorama hopefully illustrates the commencement of the last flight of Boston BZ399, RH-F, of 88 Squadron, R.A.F. on 26th July, 1943. Now I have to think about painting the picture for the RNZAF Museum!!
Thanks very much to everyone for your support, interest and kind comments. Now I need a rest - my eyes are b*lloxed!!

Amazing!-! Some of the up close pics look quite real, would have fooled me. Top marks old bean!
 
Thanks Daniel. Do you think the RNZAF Museum would like to have this too? They'd have to take care of the shipping though - although I'd carry it if they asked nicely!!
