Hey guys, just wanted to share my (finally) completed diorama! I used a model of the Firefox I got from Hobby Link Japan and tried to recreate the scene where Gant is flying supersonic over the North Sea. Hope you like it

Thanks! It was my first try at it after watching tons of ship modellers on YouTube!

So what is the kit like? I realize it won't be Bandai or Fine Molds quality but is it a decent kit?

It's actually a pretty nice little kit, any issues I had stemmed from lighting it. the landing gear is kinda naff, but the kit comes with the option of open or closed landing gear doors.

Would I buy it again? Yup!

One of my favorite movie aircraft! Well done on the water, especially being your first time!
