1/48 Dragon FW TA 152 H-1

Hello!
As a conclusion of a project started a long time ago, i decided that as it was my first luftwaffe machine, why not try to make a small base? never tried it before so .. i decided to give it a try, and if it sucked, i would lose nothing case, the maerials involved are, a piece of scrao wood, some clay from the backyard, and home made grass obtained from sisal fiber, and a lot of humbrol greens and browns.
This is an atempt to reproduce a very small section of Neustad- glewe airfield. green 4 was on maintenance, so the title is Almost ready Mr Loos, Almost Ready...

Hope you lke it, and shoot at will!!!

Regards from the Azorean Islands!

José Pires.

I think it all looks excellent. That kit is rough to build. The pictures are large and clear too. You are really see the amount of detail you have in both the model and the base.

Very nicely done Jose.  The model looks great & so does the base.

Even the wooden boards the cowlings are laying on look good. Impressive build.
