I know it's very early to post this, but hey ho!
Me and the present Mrs. Ron are off on a coach jolly with the 'Blue Rinse Brigade' soon, so here is my 'Crash' SIG build for March onwards.....
Due to Ian's acceptance, I am able to use this battered Airfix B-17 as the subject for this diorama. It has props missing and other bits have been snapped off and lost. So instead of trial by .22 air rifle up the garden, I am able to resurrect the model!
Picture if you will, this bomber has been on a mission to Germany and received a load of flak damage. It has managed to reach the English coast and has made an emergency landing at the U.S.A.A.F.'s 447 B.G.'s base at Rattlesden in Suffolk....
On it's way to a halt, it has bounced and skidded across the grass, demolished things on the way, and come to a stop buried in a couple of accomodation huts....At least that's the initial plan, started by a possibly too fertile imagination!
Thanks again Ian for letting me use my B-17 model aircraft.
Cheers,
Ron
