Strafing
This article is part of a series:
Hello to everyone!
I finally decided to strafe my french Hanriot H232/2 kit from AZUR (not an easy one, I warn you). From the 35 aircrafts produced only 20 survived the german attack over France, so I guessed some of them might be strafed right at the airfields.
Figures from Airfix (please, keep the mold but change the plastic material!) and Preiser.
See you in my next experimental thing!

Very realistic dirt throw. Maybe you can wire up a German aircraft above. Keep up the good work.

Looks great!

THAT is very cool. Love the poses on the figures, they look scared! Great idea.

They are in 1/72 scale, but yes, hope they would wish to leave the diorama!

Nicely done.

Interesting diorama, what material did you used to achieve the dust from bullets hitting the ground?
caudelguille said on April 19, 2020
I think it was called acoustic fiber. The modeler who gave it to me was doing a realistic water demonstration, though.
I am still working on color shadowing and combing it, but before ruining it all, I preferred to show you how it was

Very original concept, liked!

Great idea for a mini diorama done very realistically. The model is impressive too. I love the way you have done and weathered to unique colors of the French camouflage. The Hanriot is a rather sleek looking design. It is new to me.

What a great way to animate a model and bring things to life and hold the viewers attention.
Two thumbs up.

Very nice - I like the weathering you achieved on the aircraft - and a cool strafing effect!
