That works for me.  It's not like that's not been done before.

Beautiful!!  Quite believable, too; I could see Stirlings being re-purposed like this as they were replaced by more modern bombers in Bomber Command.

Photo looks 1/72.   Extra nice for 1/144.   Black accents add a bunch.  :smiley:

north sea platform & catapults, yellow & red & blue : primary seaplanes

I found a kind of diorama for my 1/200 seaplane kits in the form of a (half-price, at the time ...) 1/200 kit of an oil rig platform, which It transformed into  seaplane support platform, with two catapults and cranes :

I like this one a lot, eric. It's so busy you could almost get lost in it and looks entirely plausible.

Swell repurposing with cranes, catapults, and all them seaplanes.  Complexity of platform is lot to take in.  :smiley:

in the last times I did quite a few quite big kits (which I found for quite cheap)
but here is something very small (so small I had to simplify it a bit):

1/700 Seafox (with folded wings version ...)
