A BV 215 takes off on in the light of the full moon to intercept incoming RAF bombers.


The BV 215 returns safely to its base just as the ground fog begins to form.


The model is the Special Hobby 1/72 scale Blohm & Voss BV 215 I built a few years ago.

The top photo looks real. I don't know what I'm more impressed with, your modeling skills or your photo-shop skills.
Keep up the good work Les.

Andy,

I appreciate the comments!

Learning how to be creative in photographing my models is a way to get some good ''use'' out of some of my older models.

Hi Les!

Nice pictures! It's indeed a good way to "reactivate" older models.
I like the first one most. The picture has an interesting atmosphere. Next step will be to make combat scenes with multiple aircraft I suppose!

Thanks Jean-Luc!

I don't think I will try any combat scenes in the near future but I might get a Bachem Natter and do some pictures of it as it is lifting off from the launch tower.
Also I have some Me 163s that would also make for some interesting pictures as they start their climb to altitude.
