BF-109 vs. P-51D (need feedback)

It looks really really good, except, how is the mud splashing up so high that long after the plane crashed, and the piolet got out. Do you know what im saying?

Excellent work otherwise.

hmm.... no... not really :)

hehe. please clarify?

brandonp51,

I just got a new book the other day that has several pictures of German aircraft that have made crash landings, these pictures would be of interest to you and give you more information on the sort of damage a Bf 109 or Fw 190 would sustain in a belly landing.
The title of the book is ''Bodenplatte, The Luftwaffe's Last Hope'' and for anybody doing, or thinking of doing a diorama that has an aircraft in it that made a forced landing this book would be VERY useful.

Brandon: go to the first page, and check out the 4th picture. If you notice, where the wing is, theres a huge splash of mud flying in the air. Now, im guessing that it would take atleast 35 seconds from the time the plane stops moving, for the guy to get out, and walk on over, the splash of mud probaly only takes about 2 seconds for it to go into the air, and come back down, but in the model, its still up there.

Now do you know what im saying? lol. but the model looks absaloutly amazing, and so does the mud and everything, i was just pointing that out.

Ohhhh.... i see what you're saying. That's just where the mud was pushed forward by the wing. It's not splashing, although it does kinda look like it is


btw... anybody notice the pilot's muddy footsteps? :)

Ahh, i see what your saying lol.

I noticed the footsteps, like i said, great detail. How long did it take you to make that mud?

it was actually just acrylic paint with baking soda mixed in for shape.
