Fantastic work Goran. You definitely deserved the gold medal for this.
Please submit this as an On Display feature or a build review, it would look good on the homepage.

No it wouldn't .
This Arado Ar.234B-2 was captured at Grove, Denmark and became part of Watsons Whizzers; the American unit tasked with collecting and assessing captured Axis aircraft. The Arado was sent to the US Naval Air Station at Patuxent River where it was given the name Snafu 1. After testing the aircraft was scrapped and dumped into the Patuxent River.

Dumped into a river, you say?! This could be an interesting diorama

Hi Goran:

That´s a fantastic job. The dio looks very convincent. I love it. Is it 1/48? What brand is the P 47 ?

Thx!

The P-47 is the hasegawa kit. And yes, its 1/48, I just don't know how to appreciate any other scale
