kkarlsen Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) My last project of 2016, and I wasn't even sure if I would get it done before the end of the year. But here it is: Inspired by the many photos of downed Me 109's in the Libyan desert late 1941. I wanted to depict a scene with a Bf109 being 'pillaged' by british troops in a desert setting. So this is how it turned out: A Bf 109G-2 Trop with the engine and armament covers removed, bend propellers and some of the hatches and the canopy removed. The oil is leaking from the damaged engine that brought the plane down... A British wireless vehicle (Humber 8 cwt) with its crew, has stopped to look for souvenirs from the downed German plane. The driver is taking a break, having a cup of tea, while the two other crew members are looking for interesting parts/objects. One of them has removed the Revi 16 gunsight from the cockpit and is holding it as if he had found a precious 'gem'. The groundwork is done with filler, plaster, sand and cat litter. Figures are various Miniart and Master Box, cannibalized, reworked to make them 54mm, to fit the 1/32 plane and vehicle... Hope you all like it!

dodgem37 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Hard to believe this is the old Revell kit. Marvelous work all around. Equally marvelous presentation. Bravo, Kent. Sincerely, Mark kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeA Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Gorgeous work. The poses of the figures are really great - the one leaning against the Humber with, I assume, his cup of tea, adds so much to the feel of the scene. Great work!

Uncarina Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Karl, Awesome build and diorama. I spend a lot of time in Africa, and this really reminds me of the arid regions. Your lighting is right on! Cheers, Tom kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Well, this is really fantastic! But, you've done it again, Kent! This one needs to go in the GB gallery, rather than here in RFI. Kev kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
