ive decided to start displaying all my jets on dioramas so i thought i'd better start learning how to make them, this is my first ever attempt and im pretty pleased, its still not finished, im waiting to pick up a hasewaga ground crew set and im gonna put it on a wooden base.







any comments appreciated.

I think it looks great. Did you make the tarmac base, or purchase it? Also, the F-15 looks great, what make is it?

[ZS-VAN]

I agree, that looks pretty cool.

thanks,

i made the base, its just an A-4 peice of cardboard with quick drying plaster/ filler putty stuff spread on it, then i marked the groves in, added the grassy areas and painted it, took me a couple of hours total,

the F-15E is made by dragon, i actually prefer it to my CW tomcats

Looks great Kwiky! What kits did you use to fill out the weapons loads on the E?

i used the bombs and lantrin from my CW Grim Reapers tomcat as i have that displayed as a show bird with empty pylons, the external fuel tanks are from a dragon super hornet which i painted darker grey, they're probably not the perfect size for the eagle but they look good enough for me.

I think you did a fantastic job. Congratulation.

well ive added the wooden frame and it finishes it off nicely, i just need the ground crew now,









i also framed my super hornet deck diorama while i was at it so i thought i'd post that too, i didnt make this one though, its a verlinden card deck thing,
