Dioramas of famous aircraft and actions
I'd like to welcome a remarkable newcomer to PPRuNe. Bjorn is from Norway and is an aircraft modeler (and more) par excellence. Not flying models, but utterly accurate scale models of historic aircraft in historic, dramatic situations.
Bjorn's site presents the background and history in each case, with detailed photography to show how the model was constructed/modified and, in many cases, how the overall diorama came together.
Try the link to his latest - the Taranto night attack by Fleet Air Arm Swordfish that effectively put the Italian fleet out of action.
The Attack on Taranto, Nov 1940
You won't regret it!

Thank you guys for nice comments.
Gannet Driver was nice enough to point at the Taranto Diorama, but there are lots of other stuff at the website which might be of interest to some of you.

Regarding the title-picture on the site
The picture shows a crashed Messerschmitt bf109 with bend propellar-blades.
In 2013 crashlanded 'Rote 7' during an air-display at Roskilde airshow DK: Take note of the splintered wooden propellar!

Great picture. But I do not see the relevance to my diorama, except maybe you think the Bf 109 should have wooden instead of metal propellers? I can tell you the Bf 109 had both types. Have a look at the net and you will see many bf109 crashes with bent propellers.
Otherwise, I am quite happy you had a look at my website. I hope you liked it, and do not misunderstand me; I welcome all comments.
