1/72 scale Spitfire PR.IG Diorama ( from an unusual source )

The source for this diorama is my seven year old daughter, her second plastic model, which was completed a few days ago. The proud builder poses with her pink PR Spitfire diorama. It was bought and started early October 2014, a little before her 5th birthday.

It has been a long project, built during holidays and when my wife has been away for weekends. Most of the build sessions have been 30 to 60 minutes long, ‘though some days had several sessions spread across the day, mixed in with Disney films and other activities. The original Airfix Battle of Britain diorama kit has been modified a little, texturing the base with fine sand and modifying the tanker, but nothing too difficult. Decals came from the spares box. Most of the build has been my daughter’s own work, with myself lending hands and advice along the way. The builder should be very proud of her work, but dad is even more proud! 😉
