Now, THAT'S a diorama! Another great exhibit for your personal museum, Louis! Did everyone see those tail numbers on the B-25s?

Absolutely stunning work.

Building aircraft in 1-350 is bad enough, in 1-700 they are nothing but a curse to me, while the carrier in my view is first class and a real fantastic job you've of it, come on spill the beans how'd you get those aircraft looking so good ?

Thank you guys for your kind comments regarding my model...Alec nice to make contact with you....I used enamels....well the planes i first airbrushed them with a grey primer. Then I started off with an olive drab base colour quite geenish in tint...then shadowed the recess bits with a darker shade and finished them of with a faded olive drab hue which is a bit brownish in colour. when dry gave them some oil washes in very diluted burnt umber and lamp black......exhuast stains were sprayed on....a final matt coat of varnish sealed the lot...glad u liked them mate
best regards
Louis
