Wow ! ! !  quite cool, thanks Kevin.

Curios tho, did the AVG ever fly over the ocean ?  :hsmack:

I thought the same Mike if so limited would be the guess.;)

They could not reach the South China See from their bases in Kunming ( 990km ) and/or (23rd FG) Guilin that is roughly 630km, to the coast. It was way out of their normal range that could be around 300km-ish, ?

You should check out her channel Gus she likes pushing the boundaries.;)

Thanks Kevin. Had a look and lost a couple of hours! Some amazing stuff.

Whilst I appreciate the creativity, technicity and skills that went into this one - all waaaaay above my paygrade -, I just cannot help but to criticise the choice of a Flying Tigers’ P-40 (which never saw the sea from that close, as pointed out), when a Wildcat or Zero would have been far more justified, and the size of the shark, which seems to come out of a cheap me-too of Spielberg’s « Jaws », like « Sharknado» or « Megalodon ».

Just my :2c:, of course …

Yes, surely we have to take to consideration the artistic licence. But that's the fun of it, I think. Here is another diorama, that might not be the most historically correct, but amazing in its execution and detail.

Ah wondered how long before we arrived at Thomas and Laser Creation World.😁

His current love of half ton resin work has been interesting, and not always sucessful  . I've followed (and occasionally copied / been inspired by )  his work for a long time , in my opinion he is one of the most creative modellers around . A lot of his work these days in post apocalypse , gives you more licence I guess.

Amazing work from both of these modellers, I guess it’s yet again the question of time. It would be interesting to see how long these creations actually take. Way beyond my amateurish skills……..

I’m like Hubert, thinking that while the P-40 dio is incredibly creative, and the technical accomplishment is truly astounding, but personally, my experience gets dimmed when I think analytically about what I’m seeing. An AVY P-40 in the ocean, with little to no ditching damage, blah blah blah.  My mind just refuses to compute.

But I still admire the amazing creativity needed to create this.
