    Ive never heard that story before dave, cheers. The german prisoners and their british captors having a beer together is a brilliant image, maybe a great mini dio idea there!!? cheers tony

      The scrap yard I was thinking... But having been up in my loft and actually worked out what models I have, I'm tempted to get onto the 'Pibber' boat and crashed UH-1 Diorama I've always wanted to do..

      Decisions!

        when u said u had no budget you forgot to mention u already had soon kits!.If I had that lot I'd do the B17 in a wheels up landing scene on a grass base.Props bent,crew door open and maybe an ambulance with a few figures stood around.

          The Airfix 1/24 scale messeshmitt E3 is a nice kit and fairly cheap to.

            Someone has built a great diorama using that model. It's of the aircraft sinking in the channel as the pilot clambers out on to the wing. I can't remember the pilot or unit but the diorama is in the BoB museum in Kent.

            Cheers

              Well allright, you cab all read it! I found it a while back when looking for a Group build subject. Could be a good few dioramas hidden in there!

                  Cool stuff, I'm still un-decided. But it does look like the Pibber will be the fav! I need to get my porsche well under way first.
