I was suspicious about the "sand" where it met the hull... I should probably take it down, I like these cool photos that are so amazing they almost look fake rather than fake pics that are fake.  :-[

I didn't even confirm it.  I just looked at it.  I've used enough of the blend tool to know what it looks like when I see it.  ;)

Here's a great idea for a diorama:

Ouch!  AFVs are very unforgiving when you prang them, or when they prang you as I have the scars to prove.

Oh now that would be a nice subtle whiff!!!  Radial C-130 in early natural aluminum and MATS markings.  Would certainly fool some folks  8)
