Bits of information concealed in play’s model scene (7)

I believe the answer is:

diorama

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'model scene' is the definition.
'diorama' can be an answer for 'scene' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'model' bit.

'bits of information concealed in play's' is the wordplay.
'bits' indicates taking the first letters (I've seen 'bits of' mean this).
'concealed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'play' becomes 'drama' (synonyms).
The first letters of 'of information' is 'oi'.
'oi' with letters rearranged gives 'io'.
'io' placed within 'drama' is 'DIORAMA'.
