Here is my Spitfire Mk. Vb model, depicting BP955 J-1, an aircraft flown by Dennis Barnham, Luqa, Malta, April 1942.
The base is made from actual Takali airfield earth that I brought back from holiday in Malta. I wanted to make a kind of makeshift landing/maintenence area but not sure if it worked.
The model is built from Tamiya 1/48 kit with lots of extra bits.

Very effective diohrama.for the topic. A lovely model.
excellent dio, like the use of the real airfield, its something i do and adds a real nostalgic aurora to the peice
Really nice diorama. I’m half way through reading Dennis Barnham’s book. It’s gripping stuff. I also visited Matla and Takali – didn’t think to bring any dirt back !!. That is a really nice added feature.
I hope I can also do justice to this subject.
Great stuff !!
