A Bridges at Toko-Ri diorama can't be done from this model, since the movie was filmed on the Oriskany, which was an SCB-27A conversion with a different island and such. I saw on SteelNavy that some resin company is doing a 1/700 scale SCB-27A conversion, but don't know which it was. That would be the proper kit to make a doirama of this from.

Not everyone can afford or house 1/350. I love 1/700 scale.

I have a large homemade bookshelf I built a long time ago. Didn't have 350 scale in mind, but it is long enough and wide enough to put two on each shelf....well maybe not a Nimitz and a Nuc Enterprise on th same shelf
