This is a 1:16th scratch model that I did for the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa Canada titled "Against the Wind." This Vignette is from the larger diorama. It depicts a forced down Camel in a German hangar. The pilots, of course, are checking it out.

This is not a kit but a scratch built model diorama. I don't know where to put it?

Welcome to the site.
It doesn't matter if it is a scratch built or bought set. It's a model and it is finished now. So that's the relevant sub-section for that.

BTW.. looking nicely.

Thanks, guys, I am glad that you like it.Cheers! John.

This is a scratch built diorama of a Nieport 28 in a hanger/barn in France near the front lines. The instructors uniform is a little too shiny in this pic but unnoticeable in the museum case. I lit it with just a single 5W Christmas bulb.

Here is my first diorama, a scratch built HMS Victory in 1/72 scale. I hope that I am posting this in the correct forum site.

All wood, some brass. Being a pilot I had to learn a whole new technology and terminology but it was lots of fun.

THX. Is that a model made from scratch or you used a kit?
