Ernst Roth builds Tamiya''s superlaitve 1/48 He-291 as the mount of Hauptmann Heinz Strüning. He used Aries and CMK detail sets to add life to the model, then displayed it on a simple but very effective diorama base. The model tells the story of the morning after one of Strünings combats with RAF Mosquitos.

Hi Ernst.
First up a very nicely done topical diorama.
But I have a couple of suggestions..
1. There is no way an engine like the DB605 would be sitting on its rocker covers on the ground. The weight of the engine would destroy the covers.
2. The moveable doors round the outside of the front of the cowling are only thin sheet metal with actuators and hinges. Again, they would be badly damaged if they had the weight of the cowl put on them.
I think you would find that a crane would have been used to remove the damaged engine and a crane used to remove the engine from its special stand in its shipping container.
Again, I am being very picky here but just trying to illustrate that you could make the diorama even better with a few extra items. Still a great diorama.
