Just a quick couple of questions. Working in 1/48 scale, I have two diorama idea’s and would really appreciate feed back, as to realism and such.
Creating a winter scene, I would like to include two models, the first being GWH’s Fw. 189A-1 on skiis, and the Tamiya Fieseler Fi156C also on skiis
This will be a meeting of 1/48 scale planes and armour. Using either the Verlinden 1/48 Treadway bridge system (#2338), or the Verlinden Stone Bridge (#2408), I would like to depict an fighter crashed into the water near a bridge - with an armour vehicle crossing the bridge, perhaps stopping out of curiosity . I am not sure if the Stone bridge accurately depicts the damage caused by fighter plane crashing into it?? Or would the Treadway bridge be better, as it would be set up beside the crashed plane…
I would really appreciate thoughts and suggestions…
These sound like they will be rather large dio’s. Both sound like good ideas to me… The only thing i would say about the first one is spacing. Aircraft tend not to be parked to close together. But i think its doable. 10 feet would be a reasonable distance in the real world, that scales to just over 2 inches if i have done it right.
As for the bridge, looking at a pic of it, it been cut in half and i can’t see how a plane would do that. If it was flying on its side and clipped the wing on the bridge, the plane would probably spin off a long way but i doubt it would do that. You could still use the stone bridge, i take it your bridgeing the gap, but the plane would need to look like it had come parrel to the bridge not into it.
