This is a repost of "mojo72", Muhammad Ibrahim's, OH-6A diorama depicting a LRRP team in Vietnam under fire getting a little help from the Air Cav entitled "Here Comes the Cavalry". Great job Muhammad!!

Hi guys

After six months of being on the shelf I finally managed to complete this diorama. It basically depicts a group of LRRP being ambushed by the NVA.....but never fear help is always at hand, as the nearest OH-6A came to their aid.

The models are a mixture of Dragon and Tamiya, and all the vegetations are scratched. As always any comments are welcome. Enjoy

Very cool diorama. The ground work is very well done and the interaction between the different elements look good.

Indeed, very well done.

Diorama's with aircraft are pretty rare compared to AFV diorama's. Maybe we should start a special promotion for them?

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I am a bit disappointed with some of the images as they are blurry. Hence I was not able to include more close up shots. Maybe next time.....once I get hold of a better camera

Yes,yes,yes! Except for the Early Aviation section aircraft dioramas are definitely under promoted.
