Supplies are on its way ! RAF diorama NOW FINISHED, warning lots of pictures.

Im soo with you Frank. I love a good dio and this has the makings of being an absolute scorcher. Ian you are a talent my friend.

...Guy

Ian-

This is some incredible stuff!  Do you have a photo of what the whole scene may look like?  I shall be keeping my eye on this one!

Well its time to put a few more pictures up to show how far i've got with it   , now my has healed up a bit after i slashed while cutting the fuselage 

I've got myself another roll of 'fake' grass and some card to make the concrete squares, so the next few days i'll be covering the base.

All the vehicles now done, thank god.

Rear section nearly done, just needs a coat of clear matt to blend everything in.

Canopy on and painting all the framework by hand 

Front and rear turrets complete, minus the guns.

Decals put on the other side of the fins.

Making supports out of basla wood.

Heres how its going to look like [note the tiny teeny weeny lanc i'm also making 

With the wheel added to the rear.

This is how the front section will be sat on the Queen Mary, complete with crates at the rear.

I found this trolley and put it to use as a wheel holder.

The boring bit ! now  added a piece of hardboard to the base, doing it this way is cheaper than buying MDF.

thanks for looking.

Hi all. Heres a few more for to look at if there is any interest.

I cut the curved part out and then refitted to the edge, job done i hope !

I added a nav' table,nav' seat, radio's, pilots seat arm rests to the sparse airfix kit.

Airfix's incorrect holes for the rear wings.

I hope this is what it actually looks like with the wings removed, i had to fill in both ends of the square, these where shaped to fit the wings into, as in the picture.

Drilled out the bolt covers and filled in the slot for the wings.

thanks.

ian.

Just to give you an insight to what the QM's will look like with fuselage parts on.
