1/72 Lest We Forget (Airfix/Scratchbuilt)
Over the south of England during WW2 a long since forgotten Messerschmitt 109 was shot down, and there she laid undisturbed by war and time for more than 60 years, unable to get out, the cockpit compartment confirms the pilot entombed where his aircraft finally came to rest. This is a very first bottom of the sea diorama I've made, having thought long and easy over the problem, encasement on 3 sides should give a good impression of under the waves, the diver with no bubbles was a disappointment, I asked and got several replies on this problem as to the colour of the seabed, so going with a mix of sand and mud, I thought this would cover most of the angles. The broken Airfix model and the rust I also asked about I believe has made this look better then it would have, if I'd only used Tamiya weather master, still, not bad for a first attempt.
