Kamikazi Attack! Okinawa, April 1945

[spanner570]

I built this 1/72 Zero for this years 'Cosford under a fiver' G.B. and meant to put it in a diorama - Then promptly forgot!
This morning I came across the model, so here it is attacking the American Fleet off Okinawa in 1945.

I've used my diorama of the transport ship U.S.S. Montrose as the intended target. It makes a change from a carrier.





















...the American Gunners view.























Cheers and thanks for looking.

Just superb.

Thanks chaps.
Sorry about the somewhat indecent haste in the presentation, but if I didn't tackle it right away I would probably have forgotten all about it - Again!

For anyone interested, the actual aircraft build is over on Tony's 'Cosford for a Fiver' G.B. 2019.

Cheers.
Ron

The way Justine throws your kits about for your 'in flight' shots is amazing! She ought to be playing cricket for England!

I was a snake charmer too in an earlier life.
