Cool Model :-) :-)
I like the way you have caught the moment !!!
What figures did you use?
It would be great to see some balck & white photos (Set the time period)
I also like your weathering on the the markings.
Excellent

Sorry, I should have given some details. The spitfire is Tamiya 1/48 Mk1a. The figures are from ICM. The Trolley accumulator is Revell. The base is an old picture frame covered in static grass. The spitfire was airbrushed with humbrol and weathered with graphite powder.
The other components were painted with acrylics.

Hi Martin
That looks REALLY nice! I particularly like the shading effect on the p[anel lines... is that spray or pastel? I can't believe you've got a whole diorama finished before my effort is even standing on it's wheels! There's no way I'll have time to include any figures - I'd have to learn to paint them! Lovely job there too!:-)
Looks like the RAF are ready for anything we '109s (and there are SO many of us!) can throw at them!
All the best

Can we get an air strike against Martins location? We need to remove this threat before it is launched against our glorious Luftwaffe.
Looks great, Martin.

Stug I never thought to add bullet holes. Anyway, I assume all you Luftwaffe builders will be putting your aircraft into crash site dios?
