I watched these yesterday and this is exactly the type of motivation I needed to build a WW2 diorama. I think I am going to research and do these exact 2 planes involved in this famous dogfight.

I did the other way around. Started building and then got interested in pictures and references.    But I have to say that I really like this one:Big Smile [:D]

Curious to see some great WW2 photos or whatever. If you need a place to host it, you can use the instructions in my signature.

 

Would be helpful to show the picture and what it inspired you to build.
