Lovely diorama. Love Beaufighters.

Very nice Beau! Can't figure out if it's tamiya 1/48th or Revell 1/32nd. It's the vehicles that threw me. Go on, I give in.....

 

[Wayne Little]

Would you mind if I uploaded the shots I took as well Wayne?

Not at all, go for it.....

1/32, Terry!

 

[Lucky13]

1/32!? Must a fair size then...

 

[Airframes]

In which case, if it's the Revell kit, I'm having one! Did the Tamiya 1/48th scale a couple months back, and fancy a nightfightr in 1/32nd. The trucks in the diorama were the clue, the smaller _Canadian Dodge, or Morris, whatever, was done by Italeri I think?
problem is, if I get the kit, I'll need even MORE shelves than plannned.....!

 

[Wayne Little]

Some more.....this is only one end of the diorama......

 

[Wildcat]

1/32 eh, that would be impressive to see! Loving the pics mate

[Airframes]

That is VERY nice, and great pics. Do you know where the setting is supposed to be? I'm afraid I'm not very well up on that theatre, or, I'm sorry to say, R.A.A.F. other than the E.T.O.
BTW, if you haven't seen it, there's some stunning low-level Beau shots, R.A.A.F., in 'Beaufighter at War'. Was given an original edition copy a few months back, lots of good detail pics etc.

Fantastic shots Wayne.

I was like this when I first saw it. Guessing it was about 1.5metres in length, roughly?



Heres some of what I took, *please note not as good as waynes*

 

[Airframes]

Hells teeth! That's enormous, didn't realise it was that big. Must have been a job transporting it!!!

 

[Lucky13]

Where the h*ll do you get work platform etc. like those in 1/48!!?? Awesome models and diorama...nice pic as well Heinz!

 

[Wildcat]

Whoa, freakin awesome!!

Do you know where the setting is supposed to be?

Labuan, during the Borneo campaign.

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Wildcat, just spotted the label! And it's 1/32nd, soddin' massive!

 

[Catch22]

WOW.

 

[Heinz]

Like Airframes said I'd still like to know how they transport that behemoth.

 

[Wurger]

Next 'Beau' in line, glad Alex's pics show the Green better, didn't seem to get this right, the lighting was a bit ordinary in this area....tried to get rid of some of the brownish cast...
