Kent KarlsenThanks a lot! The quality is not to good, but i could not resist to play a little With Photoshop!
Choppa NuttaI thought it was real, in fact it took me some time to convince myself it is actually a model !

Christian BruerFirst thought about, oh a scene from The Purple Plain with Gregory Peck🙂
Very nice and lifelike sceneries and outstanding modelmaking in all aspects.
Christian RistitsIt looks so real I had to look twice! Awesome dio, gold medal!
Christian MeyerhoffWho said that You can`t make a beauty of a 40 years old kit? 🙂
Great work and excellent presentation!
I love every bit of it! 👍
Martien LourensExcellent diorama. superb adaptation of the interior. You made of this old kit, a beautiful model.
Markus Antoniusme 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!
Kent KarlsenWow, thank's everybody! I really appreciate your comments. There's no stopping now!
Two Dioramas are already in the "Pipeline". I'll use your input See'ya...

Bill DavisThere are not enough superlatives for this one, incredible. The photography is so professional and adds so much to the realism.
wafI left this open in my browser and when I came back to it, it took a moment for me to realize that it's not the real thing! great job!
Tom Not tellingBeautiful 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 😉
Clive TuckerWhat they all said... crazy levels of realism! The lighting on that first photo, with the shadows, is perfect.
Christian SkottunFantastic! This is what we all have as a vision when we start a Project... but you have actually done it!
Kent KarlsenThanks a lot! Yes it certainly is a challenge to 'keep your eye on the ball' for 1-2 years...

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,
