1/48 Airfix tribute to "The few"

Post by gerry7944 »

This is a 1/48th diorama using the Airfix new released Hurricane, and oiler Eduard and ICM figures and is my tribute to the few.

I wanted to depict the much forgoten ground crews who are sometimes forgoten above the fliers.

I used Tamiya and Vallejo paints along with Mig pigments and oils.

The base is a photoframe and scratch built using DAS clay and static grass.

Cheers

Gerry
