Hello !

Here is one of my completed dioramas.

I am a modeller from Belgium .  My hobby consists in making small dioramas which relate to German aviation.

For each one of my dioramas, the realism is my principal subject and I try to give an environment which is not particularly warlike.

 

There is no difficulty for the plane. The Messerschmitt Bf 109 from Hasegawa is perfect. The Verlinden kits are perfect also. The work, assembly and painting of these kits and the model are very easy. It was a pleasure.

 

I needed one year of work and much time was necessary for the elements included on the floor and the walls of the hangar (scaffolding, table, metal cupboards with closed or opened door, electricity and other small parts (vice, tools, boxes, etc....).

 

 

It is probably not an excellent diorama, but I wish to provide this passion of the aviation in the scale 48th.
