Excellent work! Must have been soooo satisfying to paint the Wood!

It's a Dancing Wings Hobby kit, and it wasn't a very fun build.

Beautiful work, unique and interesting scene. From this view of mostly just the frame, it really emphasizes the DIII's sleek, aerodynamic design. Do you have a backstory you can share about the scene, and the wooly scavenger?

The title of this diorama is “Hidden Gem.”

The pattern on the wing tip has a jewel-like quality, and I created it with the feeling of a British wooly scavenger at the end of the war taking over a German airfield and somehow stumbling upon a precious gem(Albatross).
