Suresh Nathan Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) First time here after a while. This is my diorama idea inspired by the post war cleanup. Does anyone think this wouldn't have happened? Specifically were all JV44 Fw190D9s destroyed? Would a M26 Knuckley be used in this way?

This involved the rapid demobilization and destruction of the German Air Force, removing traces of its aircraft wherever found" Edited August 28, 2018 by Suresh Nathan Formatting issues Kagemusha and Greg W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Who cares if someone thinks it wouldn't have happened. It certainly could have happened and you seem to be inspired to use this as an idea for your diorama. Build it! It's a hobby to be enjoyed. Don't let the rivet counters ruin your day. Most "experts" on the 'net don't necessarily know what the hell they are talking about anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I don't think the destruction was all that rapid. 'Many' photos of fields full of aircraft waiting to be scrapped. Go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suresh Nathan Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) The Hasegawa FW190D-9 is the old tool. Upgraded it with the Verlinden set which I had lying around for a while. The engine was from JR Rutman. Nothing really fit very well and had to be moved back and forth to fit references. The wings are the old FW190A4 from Revell with closed wing wells so all of that had to be modified. Nevertheless because this was going to be a salvage scene , I decided to cut off the wing and open up panels- in a strange way the inaccuracies of the kit made it easier to do that. The stabilizers would be removed too. Edited August 28, 2018 by Suresh Nathan Formatting issues Greg W, LSP_K2, Out2gtcha and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringleheim Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'm seeing the photos just fine. Maybe it depends on what operating system/browser folks are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they were definitely not there previously, having been replaced by placeholders with 'no go' symbols on them. They're visible now, however.

Rick Griewski Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Nice work. Maybe a good use for a number of my shelf of doom vac kits soon to be replaced by styrene (e.g., Ki-45 and Hs-129). Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suresh Nathan Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hmmmm..... Vacform is probably extreme. But I actually prefer my old Revell and Hasegawa kits and I have a Vacform Twin Mustang . My shelf of doom is distinctly the Trumpeter stuff. Lol.
