**Airframes** · 12-31-2009 12:41 AM

Username: Airframes.
Name: Terry.
Category: Judge.
Kit: Italeri Boston MkIII.
Scale: 1/48th.
Accessories: Aftermarket decals for code letters and serial numbers, some scratch-built details.
Converted Tamiya Panzer Service Crew and Infantry figures, 'enhanced' Tamiya/Hasegawa
Japanese pilot figures.

Well, here she is at last. Could be better in parts, and, as mentioned in the final 'build' post, I need to take some better detail shots, and I also need to add some wood trim to the base edges. But, this little vignette diorama hopefully illustrates the commencement of the last flight of Boston BZ399, RH-F, of 88 Squadron, R.A.F. on 26th July, 1943. Now I have to think about painting the picture for the RNZAF Museum!!
Thanks very much to everyone for your support, interest and kind comments. Now I need a rest - my eyes are b*lloxed!!

Forgot to add Terry

Its a fantastic tribute to 'Jack'!

**Airframes** · 12-31-2009 02:01 AM

Thanks Daniel. Do you think the RNZAF Museum would like to have this too? They'd have to take care of the shipping though - although I'd carry it if they asked nicely!!

They'd love it mate although I reckon you should keep it seeing you've done such a cracka job
