I had the privilege of seeing this diorama Friday night at the IPMS-Orange County meeting.

First it does not photograph well in person it is quite a well thought out model and rather stunning.

I'll give a little more detailed description than Bob did. the top of the base has a printed photo of a pacific island to add to the forced perspective of the model. None of the zeros look identical to me there are subtle differences in color and to some degree shape. The tail number on all three are different (very nice touch Bob) and they do look different from each other. The best view is looking down on the model with the zeros pointing at you the Corsairs are climbing up to the Zero's and appear to be about 300 feet below them. Then you have the base with the island below the aircraft and it looks like it's around 3000 feet below the action. I would guess that the models are from Fiddlers green.

Once more Bob as taken simple models tossed them together and shown a fine model, makes me wonder why I build Halinski models.
