Are you able to build a 1/48 scale diorama in a few hours, without using plaster, styrofoam and balsa wood? Sound impossible? Not with Remi''s vacuform Field Splitter Box. A simple but very nice display base for your WW2 aircraft.

Hi Jean-Luc,

That's good!

I have one from a Hasegawa Zero diorama set from the 70s. I'll post pix ASAP.

Have you considered taking the one in your diorama and making a mould of it? There are already some out there, but yours are better looking.

Regards,

Fred

Does anybody know where to get this item on the net? I have tried google and my normal internet stores for models but none of them stock Remi.

Hi Jesper!

I purchased mine at kits-discount.com . But if someone knows were to find more of their products I would be happy to know.
It seems that Remi are doing mainly 1/35 stuff. By the way, it's a manufacturer from Poland.

Thanks Fred but I think I leave this to the real specialists... but I'm looking forward to see the pictures of your Hasegawa dio!

Hi Jean-Luc

Splitter box? I know we joke about language differences and the Yanks and Brits are often said to be two countries separated by a common language, but that's a new term to me. I'd call it a blast pen or a revetment... where did splitter box come from? (I have no doubt I'll be hit with 100 PMs explaining the term! )

All the best

Hi Leon and Lampie!

Unfortunately I don't know more than you. I only saw this Remi diorama base by chance while browsing in the kits-discount website. Meanwhile, I found out my LHS in Metz has this range of products listed too (see here) . There are mainly 1/35 diorama stuff, but also 1/72 and one in 1/48. I'll see if I can find more about that brand and if I can get a catalogue or something.
