It is actual net, but I had it for that long I don't remember if it was scale modelling net or just net, and then I sprayed it camo

Yes I painted the invasion stripes, I knew the decal ones would be difficult to set.

Yep, that's a fine looking dio, and well thought out.

Are those invasion stripes painted on? I've built that kit too and really like how colourful it is.

I love a diorama, such as this one ,depicted in the midst of action. You captured this very well.  Great weathering on the P-51 as well, just right.

You can spin it by hand but it is not powered to spin by itself.

Awesome work! Does the prop spin?

Hi everyone, I had these 2 models in my stash so decided to do a small diorama, all went well except for the decals, they were real hard to work with and even after micro sol, gunze setter and tamiya x-20A thinners would not set properly.
