Thanks for the interesting responses. An aircraft rigged to “fly” over a layout would be pretty neat. With the small motors available I would imagine it would be possible to have the props spinning.

Leif, that is a real sharp looking little model. And those card figures are really effective. And thanks for the Spitfires!

I would imagine HO scale has one of the widest selections of subjects available, except for airplanes. Some of the ones Bob points out are nice but pricey. I think the DC-3 is around $50.00? One of the big bonuses of HO scale is the number of vehicles, especially civilian that are available from different eras. That is one reason I wanted to try the Stratoliner. I’ve already found a nice early 40’s tanker truck for my diorama.

This diorama will be an ongoing project as I plan to dedicate most of my time to the B-17 kits. But I’ll post photos of how it progresses.

Thanks again, John
