O-47 at Wake Is.

[Glenn]

This photo taken at Wake Island, Dec 1941, shows the O-47 Owl after a recon flight over the island.
The model is 1/72nd injection limited kit, made in the UK, but can't remember who?
The model 'scrubs up' well when finished. The diorama is about 24x40 inches, on a wooden board, with a painted backdrop. The PSP is Verlinden, and the palm stalks are twigs. The 44 gal drums and watch tower are Hasagawa, I think, and the sand is putty and tissue paper. A set like this can be used in any situation, as long as it's tropical.

Great ideas and tips there; I've a tropical Pacific island dio in mind for the future, and this one's a good inspiration.

Capt'n,
 Na, no floats! Actually it didn't even have a cockpit interior. I spent a day building the floor, seats and instruments, painted it all and then added the canopy and realised 'it didn't matter'! You couldn't see through the canopy anyhow!
JoeP,
  Diorama's are fun things to have in your collection. With me, I have a half dozen, but I'm always on the lookout for air to ground photos, for flying shots. Know of any desert shots around?
