Me262A1/U4 Finished " Spoils of War"

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Well I've finished my first diorama, had to build one as I didnt take notice that it was tail heavy

Now before anyone asks the figures and loader are leftovers from a B-17 I built, I wanted to try and create a story, right or wrong around it. So the crew are looking it over as they are first on scene,,, I know lots of holes in the story but I can live with it

Anyway comments welcomed as always

A nice diorama Adrian sets it off nicely. Is the guy at the back holding the tail up :laughing:

Nice one Adrian.

Your story is entirely plausible. After being captured at the end of the war at Lechfeld this aircraft was handed to the nattily named 54th Air Disarmament Squadron. They were the ones who fairly obviously made the aircraft safe and initially named it "Wilma Jeanne".

Cheers

A very nice build Adrian the camo has come out really well, the dio is a great addition. What scale is the model?

Nicely done Adrian, simple but brings a bit of history alive.

A cracking dio mate.

Thanks for the positive words all, to answer the few questions,, the guy at the back isnt actually holding it down though I can see why it looks like it now, lol.

The kit is a Dragon 1:48th and I thought it was a great kit, just had an issue with the hatch where the cannon is, hence the loss of detail but I'm happy with it.
