CH-46E Diorama?

I have a book titled “Bent and Battered Rotors, Vol. 3”. It is a collection of helo crash photos.

We have a show coming up here in Pensacola this fall and I was thinking of a diorama (1/48 Academy) of one of our birds from HMM-261 when it was shot down in Grenada during a Ranger insertion and then strafed by an AC-130H to keep it out of Cuban hands.

Watcha think? There are not alot of helo dioramas at shows and even less historically accurate trashed ones!

Sounds good to me. Here is some inspiration for you. Super 64, by Pablo Roig Sanches at Armorama.

More here.

Keep us posted.

That sounds like a great idea Medic! keep us informed.

I remember that build up! SWEET! [tup]

I will need to see that one in person some day.

Sounds like a great idea to me. You don’t really see too many crash dios anywhere. I think one with a -46 would be pretty cool. Good luck.

Thats a great book. I think a crashed 46 would be cool… maybe a sling load gone wrong! That might give you a chance to build two sepreate subjects and have fun with both!
