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'm not sure about the 'model' bit.

'in play concealing bits of information' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'play' becomes 'drama' (synonyms).
'concealing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bits' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'bit of' mean this).
'information' becomes 'i' (common abbreviation for information).
The initial letter of 'of' is 'o'.
'drama' placed around 'o' is 'dorama'.
'dorama' going around 'i' is 'DIORAMA'.
