Thank you mates for your feedback! And thank you Tom for the reminder, it was dropped out of my focus. So I added two pictures, after adding the missing fuse wires.

Clifford Keesler
Agree with everyone outstanding dio.

Thx mates! Due to a posting of a friend there was an idea, I added some flowers and the title is now "Daisy cutter"! The double meaning tells the story 🙂

Urban Gardini
Excellent idea with the name there mate!

Norbert Steffens

Now you just need a 1/48 scale Lockheed C-130 for completeness' sake 😁

Thank you very much mates! No Kenneth, a C-130 would be a bit huge for my taste!
This was an old project, and I merely replaced the small photos with large photos that meet today's standards. I will update the build log too, but have only processed half of the pictures. This will need some time.

In fact, that diorama was damaged during an emergency brake while traveling back from an exhibition. Due to soldering the frame is ok, but the huge resin corpus is to heavy and tried to escape. The PE stripes on the bomb are damaged too. I think about repairing it: remove the bomb, open the connections (CA glue) and drill it out to get it much lighter. Rebuilt and repaint and remount it to the base.
At the moment it would not be possible to transport it.

Ja, ich war im USAF Ordinance Museum auf der Eglin AFB. Ich glaube, die GBU-43 ist die MOAB (Mother of All Bombs). Sie wurde selten eingesetzt und wurde ursprünglich verwendet, um große Dschungelgebiete in Südostasien (Vietnam und Laos) zu räumen. Eine Bombe konnte genug Fläche räumen, um eine Feuerbasis und einen Hubschrauberlandeplatz zu schaffen. Wirklich schrecklich!

Sad to hear about that accident. I hope everybody is alright.
Pilot, Co-Pilot, the Daisy Cutter. 😉

It happened a long time ago. The emergency braking prevented an accident so pilot, co-pilot, car and the diorama are ok.
Only the heavy green resin monster on top has ripped off and is damaged. I want to repair it.

Desert Marlin
A very accurate. representation of the display at the Museum and very worth the effort to repair!!!

Today, the replacement parts from Eduard arrived, which I was able to get for a really fair price 👍 To save on shipping costs, I waited for the 20% discount promotion on eday and ordered other items at the same time.
Thank you very much, Eduard!
