[huib]

Evacuation of wounded soldiers from a forward airbase during the German Blitzkrieg attack on Poland in September 1939.

Italeri 1/72 Junkers Ju52/3m
Italeri 1/72 Opel Blitz Ambulance
Airfix 1/72 Luftwaffe personnel

Arrival of the ambulance aircraft, taxiing to the platform.


The engines are switched off, the loading doors are opened.


Several ambulance vehicles unload their patients....


Which are loaded into the aircraft.


On the right a Feldwebel is keeping oversight.


The airgunner is keeping watch for enemy fighter bombers.


Ready for departure. Cabin crew, close the doors!

I hope that I lucky enough to be the first to congratulate you on this fabulous piece of modelling. I honestly thought that it was old footage initially, and, whilst realising it is not it is still compelling convincing. You have achieved modelling perfection here in my opinion.

Fantastic.

Wonderfull work! When I saw the first picture I thought it was a real airplane!

Exactly! Looking at the first picture, I initially thought this is the template from real life that you used as inspiration, everything looks so realistic here.

Now I'm scared, Peter can read minds
I thought it was photo from some kind of air show and airplane is 1:1 scale.

Though I forced myself not to reply on N**i stuff and all other second world war topics I really have to make an exception here.

This is real top notch modeling huib!



Your work is proving again that clever photography makes the difference between displaying toys and recreating a realistic historical scene.
Your use of the background is very clever too.
The modeling looks perfect.
And because of the many figures you added, your work really deserves to be displayed here at this figures forum.

You made me curious to see what is inside of that plane.
Is there any brancards or a surgeons table inside?
What does the cockpit look like?
You even may have a shot inside of the engines?

Simply brilliant....:)

A nice and rarely seen idea very well done.

I like the way how to use the pose of the Airfix figures.
The team to upload the wounded man. The observer is a good idea too.
That you do an interior for the Ju52 and the used look of the open/ close functional door.
To take an aged ESCI Opel Blitz truck with the sign of the 1. Panzerdivison.
And the open door with a lot of scratch add to the inside of it.
The nice clean build of all things. Form the scratches of the propeller to the hanging down of the flaps.
The cammo for the is also well chosen.
Very nice.

Thank you very much, guys, for all the very nice comments. They are much appreciated.

On special request of Mr. Crijns a few more details:


This is the aircraft, an Italeri Junkers Ju52/3m in a pre war Luftwaffe camouflage.


This is the Italeri (ex-Esci) Opel Blitz Ambulance.


With a simple scratch built interior.


These are the figures. The stretchers and stretcherbearers are from the Ju52 kit, the others are Airfix.


The wounded


Some figures in detail


The interior of the Ju52


Two heavily modified pilots in the cockpit.


The secret revealed: a picture of the making of. This is all! The trick is in the angle of photography.

Wonderfull! And I had a good read on the building of this airplane!

[Alex]

The high art! This realistic effect is only possible thanks to the very thorough work with small details .. Great!

[Kostis Ornerakis]

You have done a high quality work!!

[Wheeling Turn]

Wow excellent work.

[vellek]

Brilliant

Formerly I have built aircrafts and military vehicles too. Always It was my intention to create something beautiful like you do here. Your work reminds me of this time and I enjoy it. I bow my knees before your performance. Very very nice...

[KenzoSato]

Great job. Very realistic

Thank you very much, guys!
