Major Michael Jackson's Teddy
This is the venerable Tamiya P-47D with Aeromaster decals. The paints are also Aeromaster. They stir up well years, or could be decades at this point, after purchasing them. The decals did not tear or shatter. I did have serious silvering [...]

It's a HEMI!
Here’s my latest build, the Halberd XP-47H conversion. It’s an awesome conversion, the Halberd fuselage and Tamiya wings, spars, tailplanes, cockpit and canopy are all a perfect fit.
The recent post by Tom Clever covers the history of [...]
