Tonight I’ve come up with a great way to complement modeling with my main hobby (reading). Off to find a model in 1/48 scale of a Junkers Ju-52 in memory of a book I read 15 years ago. After that it will be the plane flown by Col. Craig Lowell from the W.E.B. Griffin series.
Come to think of it, this approach leads to all kinds of diorama possibilities.
fnord I tend to do the same thing. Like right now I’m working on a dio of Audie Murphy on the back of a M10 tank destroyer. I got the idea from reading about it. I should add that I’ve been working on it for a long time now, but I will finish it one day.
If I could get an M 26 Pershing in 1/72 scale, I’d be building Col. Craig Lowell’s Pershing that he used to lead his ‘dash’ up the Korean Peninsula in W.E.B. Griffin’s series. Unfortunately, that is the most neglected tank in 1/72 scale–Nobody makes it!
