about the patrol boats as this dio is a commission, i was ordered to squeeze in somehow the patrol boats that come with the kit, and given the space of the base this was the best i could come up with.Maybe not the most realistic scene i will have to agree there with you but very hair raising for some of the participants .

Maybe a little more white/light gray mixed in the smoke, otherwise a very nice scene. And the PT boat's commander is really in trouble at this point, bad carreer move.

Same, excellent but a bit too shiny.

Pretty cool! I would suggest removing the "metallic-ness" of the blast, though, and perhaps add something (cotton strands, maybe?) to make the transition from center of the smoke to clear air more gradual.

Great work as usual, bet the guys in the PT boat are happy they didn't arrive a second earlier, not sure what the blast from the guns firing would do to them :heh:

yes is the dragon kit,but am not gonna bother with super detailing/fixing/adding extra details.The beauty of this will be in the overall depiction of the action rather in the detail.Having said that i will try to add or fix as many things i am not 100% satisfied with.

Cool model angeleyes!
Is it the Dragon kit?

And would the landing be on Iwo Jima?
