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

Looks great! Especially for a first one!! I have one question and one comment. How did you suspend the P-51 in flight, is there a wire in the tree? And the one comment is that there seems to be alot of "dead space", or space where there is just nothing there. Something you can do is just put a bush or rock or debris there to fill it in. The muddy patches help, but it is not enough. That's just me being nitpicky though. Looks great!

Err... Big Beautiful Doll

Here is a direct link...the crashed plane is just left of center, to the right of the river in the field between the houses....you can see the skid marks of the crash starting just left of the church steeple.

Pretty cool dio nonetheless bro

Well, this was my first dio so i guess you could say it was sort of an experiment to "show me the ropes". I learned a lot from it for my next diorama. I know, it isn't totally historically accurate, but i just had p-51 and bf-109 model kits and decided to not just build them, but to do something more with them. So, thanks for your input, and i'll keep you posted on any changes i make.

p.s.- no, Jeeves, i've never seen the Stan Stokes pic you are talking about with the plane shot down. Happen to know the name of it?

Hey-- is this one based on the Stan Stokes painting of Big Beautiful Doll?? If so-- looks preety good.... if not-- it is an amazing coincedence bro. He has one of the Mustang flying over a town and below you see a German plane (it might even be a 190) crash-landed in a field.

Looks very good so far, I have always wanted to do a diorama like that. I have a couple of older Bf 109 kits that might be used for that purpose.

from the pictuers,it looks prety(sp) good.my guess is there would be more damage to the port wing in such a landing,such as it almost being ripped off & may be more skewed.good luck keep going,the most important thing is that you be happy with it no matter what any one says.
