Hi everybody at ARC. This is my first time on this site. And I think that I've come in a great style with a great diorama.

The kit is the old ENTEX. Now the Academy from Korea makes this kit. This is a good kit with no fit problems. Only the windshield area needs extra filling to cover the lack of fit, not a nightmare just a little bit more attention on this area. The only difference from the ENTEX kit to the ACADEMY kit is the civilian figures, we have a pilot, mechanic and two passengers, a women and a man, carrying a suit cases, very nice for a airport diorama.

The paints used on these diorama was a mix of enamels (automotive enamels and CORALIT) and acrylic paints. 

The workshop at this diorama was totally scratch built. The aircompressor was made from a fuel tank from a 1/72 helicopter and others small parts that I have at my scrapbox. The oxygen tube  was made from a submarine torpedo and the acetylene tube was made from 250 Lb bomb from AMT A-20 Havoc. Hey folks maintain your scrapbox!!!!!.The tool closet, table, wall, floor was made from sheets of styrene. So this is it I hope that you enjoy and send me your opinions about this Diorama.

Daniel
