This was my third attempt to make an all-action, low-flying diorama. The
base scene was made some time before I decided to add the P-51. In itself, the plane is a good kit though with a poor canopy: cast in one piece it
really needs cutting in three before it can be fitted convincingly.
Otherwise, the kit went together well. It was brush-painted in Tamiya
acrylics, with a wash and dry-brush using artists tubed acrylics. Kit decals were used to make only a generic machine.

The base is no more than a simple lump of scrap polystyrene with groundwork
from glue-soaked tissue. The figures are the old Hasegawa hard plastic US infantry team which are quite good though a little
emaciated.
