Scandinavian Airlines Flight 751 - Diorama of the Day

by Kasper Fischer

This astunishing diorama was the Best of Show in the IPMS 2011 Danish nationals. It was entered in the Documentation class and depict SAS Flight 751 that crashed in Sweden in 1991. The airliner had just left Arlanda airport when both engines cut out on the brand new, state of the art DC-9. 

The Danish pilot managed to crash land the aircraft in a field in the secluded forest of Gottöra and amazingly everybody survived. 

The diorama was build by Albert Tureczek and is mostly scratch build in 1/72 scale.

Tanks at IPMS

Here is the bulk of the armoured divisions of the Danish IPMS championship. Some fantastic models and I was really inspired by some of the artillery pieces. I think a gun looks really cool as lone gun on a display-stand. That said, I really like the wooden base of the first gun. Beautifully done in Oak and a piece of craftsmanship in it self.

Another models that really inspired me was the Opel truck in the end. Really nice paint-job and the weathering is excellent but the stowage completely tops it off in style. The details looks really realistic but I think it deserved a stand. It kinda disappeared on the table.

If anybody wonders, the white/red roundel are the Royal Danish Airforce. They contest see a lot of Danish aircraft of cause. I will post the tanks and AFV's tomorrow.
