This is a "test" diorama, if you will, of a 1/48 scale Me109 entitled "Waiting-France 1940". The basic concept, obviously, is that the aircraft is waiting. For what? Ammo? Fuel? Pilot? Mission? Repair? I leave that up to the viewer.
My goal was to see if I could convey anything with a static aircaft short of it appearing to be on display. I scratchbuilt the hardstand planking using some model railroad techniques, and weathered it using scale modelling techniques. Sadly, my antenna broke as I placed the 109 on the hardstand. (Curse my gorilla like hands!).
