Here is my diorama of Galland’s JG 26 at Wissant, France in Sep 1940.  The Kits are the Monogram 109 E-4 and Dragon’s Battle of Britain Luftwaffe day fighter crew. The decals for the 109 are from Aero Master detailing his machine when he had just achieved his 40th kill on 25 Sep 40.

Above on the left is the picture on which I based my dio, Galland lands  at Wissant after his 40th victory

The diorama shows him in the white peak cap reading a newspaper while the first Ritterkreuz winners of JG 26, Gerhard Schöpfel and Joachim Muncheberg play cards with other crew.  The Ubiquitous ‘black men’ push Galland’s machine back into readiness.  

The grass and gravel are railway model scenics. And Galland’s newspaper is plain paper with penciled text and pics. The 109 is very lightly weathered with chalk pastels and an HB pencil.
