Great diorama. One thing though...if it's supposed to be Durant's bird, a couple things are off. Super 61 lost not only it's tail rotor, but the majority of it's vertical tail. Also, from what I remember the 160th SOAR aircrews had M-4's and MP5K's for self-protection. Definately not MP5SD's.
Now I think it's a GREAT diorama, but if the intent is to mimic or represent a real world event, I am of the thinking that one has to take into consideration the actual event and the specifics. I also think (know) that there would be quite a bit more damage to the aircraft.
Now everyone relax...I still think its a good diorama...there's just a few things that could be better.
Avus,
Yeah, I've considered the same diorama but will probably limit it to 1/48 scale. I too would hate to trash a $50+ model.
Melgyver,
Amen brother. Between the time I spent in Somalia, Afgahnistan and the sandbox, I can tell you that the time spent in Somalia really had a big impact on me. It's something that really cant be conveyed through a post on a forum. I will say that while I enjoyed the movie, it conjurs up strong memories of my experience over there.
