AMT A-20 Havoc Diorama Completed

Posted by route62 on Monday, August 7, 2017 8:15 PM

I finished this 1/48 scale a-20j Havoc a few months back and decided to create a diorama for it to enter into Modelpalooza this Sep in Orlando FL. I used figures found in my spares and stash. The tug, bomb lift and bombs too. I made the bomb crates from popsicle sticks.

This was my first attempt at figure painting and making a tarmac base. The scene does not depict anything specific as I was just trying some firsts. I am open to ideas to naming the dio.

Great job. It looks fantastic with all the nice details. I bet that's a pretty big dio. I need to Google that A20. I've never heard of that one. Cheers to you.

Just read they made over 7000 of them! I'm not a plane guy obviously. Lol

Very nicely done all around. First figures? I wouldn't have guessed.

Outstanding diorama. Very nicely done indeed. I'll echo the sentiment about your first attempt at figures, impressive.

Thank you all. I found a great guide on figure painting from an older issue of Fine Scale using the same figure I had. I am motivated now to try some figure painting with higher quality molds.

I was surprised how well the tarmac base turned out for wipping it out in a weekend. I thought it would take much longer.
