The plane in my diorama is actually a model of a Clipper with a 3 ft wingspan.
The Diorama is all related to the 'backstory' I created for my bar which is essentially that it is a WW2-ish era pilot's bar at one of those Pacific way-points (this one on Kaua'i) that the Clippers had to stop and refuel at along the way.

There is a door to the right of my bar that theoretically leads to that dock you see in the diorama where the Clipper is tied up.

I have quite a bit of WW2 and vintage aviation memoribilia in addition a wrecked plane seating area I built in the corner that helps tie everything together.

Fiendishly clever idea, that. I especially think it would be great to get HD footage of a "clipper" airplane, and down here in Miami there are excellent opportunities to get footage of gorgeously retro Grumman Goose (geese?) seaplanes, with a suitably tropical backdrop.

I best get sketching, yes?
