Hi There
I had always wanted to make a 1/48 scale airbase diorama, so here it is. The Avenger HUMVEE is a mix of the Tamiya Hummer kit and the Avenger system is from DToys (all Resin).  The DToys resin parts fit superbly, but the kit came with pictures but no instructions.

The figures came from Hasegawa’s US and NATO range, and some were modified (eg. The Raptor pilot ).  My Raptor and F-15 E have already been displayed on ARC, so the new addition is the V-22 Osprey.. 

The missile trolleys are from Skunk models and the missiles are from the spares box.

The Patriot Missile system is by ARII models which I got from Hobbylink Japan. The models were made in the late 1980’s, not really accurate, but close enough for the diorama, a quick build. 

Hope you like it.
