This thread has more twists and turns than an alpine road.
If I could remember what the topic was I would ask that we got back to it.

a sound chip with the engine drone and possibly the faint crump of bombs hitting their mark

I’m sure those kinds of sounds can be found online, and else you could lift parts of the sound from a suitable movie. Then build a cheap MP3 player and speakers into the base, or a Bluetooth speaker so you can play the sounds from a phone or similar when you want them.

I think you’re right Jakko. A recordable MP3 player would be the way forward. With regards to the speakers I’m thinking of building this as a display item within a glass-topped coffee table. There should be ample room for speakers.
Thanks

You can buy a sound unit with a SDcard slot. Record the sound you want put it on the SD card and into the sound box.

Wow Paul I would have never thought of doing that that’s going to be some acreage to display you got a nearly 3 ft wingspan plane and then the cityscape on top as well as the height to consider need a small room on its own from the sounds of it

It will be big, but not as big as you think. I'll use forced perspective on the cityscape. I imagine it to be about 8" from the underside of the aircraft and about an inch or two bigger than the model itself all round - roughly 3' 4" square and about 16" deep. I'm looking into having a coffee table made to accommodate it.

Now that's what I call a plan...will the coffee table come with a casing for a dust ffreedio, Paul?

Hey Richard
Completely enclosed on all 4 sides with a glass top. The dio will be very dark in nature. Really not much more than a textured background with LEDs making parts of it glow intermittently. Well, at least that’s the idea!

I had a simuler plan for a dam-buster dio. but in 1/48...
