me too.. at first glance, i thougth it to be a actual war footage; i think mostly because the officer in the front seems to be "caught" in an actual walking motion!

There are not enough superlatives for this one, incredible. The photography is so professional and adds so much to the realism.

Beautiful work mate, first class job, things like this make mere mortals like me think a few times about if I should be brave enough to show my own work 😉

What they all said... crazy levels of realism! The lighting on that first photo, with the shadows, is perfect.

Fantastic! This is what we all have as a vision when we start a Project... but you have actually done it!

Album info
Bristol Beaufighter Mk 1C - No. 30 Squadron RAAF ( A19-15 'O') - Australia
Model Kit: 1/32 Revell Bristol Beaufighter with a lot of scratchbuilding.
My good old Revell 1/32 (1975?) was taken apart and had a complete overhaul, inside and out. The project took around a year or so, reworking all of the model until i was happy with it: Complete interior rebuild, wheelbays, gunbays & removeable panels. Sanding and rescribing of panel lines & rivetting.
Diorama: British built Bristol Beaufighter undergoing maintenance at Port Moresby, Ward's Airfield,
during the Kokoda Trail Campaign, Papua New Guinea, November-December 1942.
From early 1941 the roles of the Beaufighter diversified as it was adapted to carry out anti-shipping strikes and ground-attack missions, and in these capacities gained its fearsome reputation. In the Asia-Pacific theatre the Beaufighter was nicknamed "Whispering Death" because of its quiet engines and heavy firepower. The origin of this nickname is generally attributed to Japanese troops,
