Thank you all!! 😁😁😎
Update time:
I think this might be the way to display the planes. Allows a natural and organic feeling way to still see a good portion of details.
Frame going together for plane camouflaged cover
Frame complete and mud down. As you can see from the pics, at this stage I have mixed the acrylic mud product with the real dirt. After application, I also added tire marks.

kyledehart5handiabledTJ - Appreciate it! The camo net will be black with a mix of RLM 2 I think. Nearly impossible to tell from black and white photos what the real coloration was.
Tonight I’ll be adding static grass which will really make this come to life.
I can’t take all the credit though. Much of my success can be attributed to my helper -

Thank you both!
More progress:
Primed the whole thing in black. If you’ve not done this before, it adds depth to the diorama. Similarly to preshading an aircraft.
Primary paintwork is done:
Tomorrow I will do detail painting and dry brushing. These will be the final steps for this part of the diorama. Afterwards I still need to paint all the figures and other supporting items.

And that's how it's done right there! I can't get over all of the hard work and attention to detail that's going into this whole thing Keith. I apologize for not being in here as much lately as I've been working on a ton of things behind the scenes here at MSC but I'm glad I looked in here today and saw all of this. This is some mind blowing stuff right here!! WOW!!!
Congratulations on the featured build from Eduard on that A-7 too. What an honor that is!! Well deserved Keith.....well deserved.

First off a huge congrats for the recognition of the A-7 by Eduard! Well deserved for the excellent way you crafted it together! Your diorama keeps getting better and better with each addition added my friend.

keavdog406 Silveradokyledehart5 - Thank you all very much for your interest in this build throughout the whole process. Also, thanks to anyone else that frequented and supported me.
Last night I officially completed the build. I got a bit carried away and took like 41 photos. All have been edited and are ready to post. I’ll work on getting a post put together for the gallery sometime today.
