Desert Storm diorama subjects are becoming "classics" such as WW II and Viet Nam subjects. Kits, accessories and reference are almost as numerous and as widely available as their predecessors. This scene shows a US Marines M60 heading full speed towards Kuwait City and passing an Iraqi T-55 abandoned by its crew before it had ever fired a shot. The M60 from Tamiya has been converted and superdetailed with the VP M-48/M-60 update set and reactive armor. The T-55 is Esci/Ertl fully converted and updated with VP 705 update set. This diorama consumed mass quantities of accessories, all from VP. which were selected, painted and stowed to give a realistic appearance. The Marine crew are adapted VP figures from kit 596. The base was made from marine styrofoam. A relatively new approach to diorama bases, it is becoming quite popular because it offers many advantages.
