Hey guys I need some help or some advise. I am going to making a diorama featuring Col Bud Andersons 1/18th P-51D Old Crow. What I need to know is what size ground vehicles to use, what scale they should be if I use them. I am basing my diorama on a painting I saw which was featured on Buds webpage. Any help on vehicles and what equipment to use would be very helpful.

Everything should be in 1:18 scale to make the diorama look like it should.
Jeeps and crew members oil drums .....Guard towers are a plus too.

Hey guys,

I wont be including a control tower because space is going to be limited. And ground crew will be out due to the fact they I cant find any and they are not made by BBI or 21st so my hands are tied. Unless someone has some ideas on how to make them. But 1 or 2 vehicles are possible along with oil drums and so fourth. I know there is a company thats makes the oil drums and ammo boxes plus other equipment. I have 2 BBI Pilots that are gonna represent Maj Anderson and I'll have one representing either Capt Bill Overstreet, who flew as Andersons wingman, or Gen Yeager. They will be talking like a mission was just completed. This is gonna take some work because I do plan on doing some custom work to Old Crow like adding brake lines ect. I always have a bad habit of doing custom work to my favorite planes.

Thanks guys for the response.
