Jim Sullivan is Gone
All,
It is with the greatest of sadness that I write to inform you that our friend Jim Sullivan has passed.
Jim has been a fixture of my life since 1973, when he became one of the first aerospace photography "heavy hitters" to help Jim Wogstad and myself with our budding Replica in Scale project. I've valued his friendship for over 50 years and am hard-pressed to imagine a world without him in it. I know many of you on iModeler feel the same.
Blue skies, Amigo...

Very sad news indeed. He will be greatly missed.
RIP Jim...we will miss seeing your builds.
That is sad news indeed. He was quite helpful with a couple of my Corsair builds. I'll miss seeing his finished models posted on this site. First Norris Glaser now Jim, some tough shoes to fill. My he rest in peace.
Dang!
Oh my...this is so sad to hear. I'm at a loss for words. RIP Jim.
Sad news.
Blue Skies, Jim...
This is very sad news, rest in piece, Jim.
Rest in peace, Jim. I hate to hear this news. 😢
Sad news indeed. I was perusing Jim’s “Hellcat In Action” book when I heard the news. He will be missed.
So sad to hear - will miss him!
I first corresponded with him on this site. Until I connected the dots, I had not realized he had authored some of the books that I have. He sent me a number of Phantom photos of my old squadron. R.I. P.
He will be missed, Our hearts go out to his family. Sleep well my friend.
If it was blue and flew, then Jim knew, was a tag I liked to say about Jim. A wonderful and knowledgeable person that was a great resource for us model guys, and a genuinely nice guy. R.I.P my friend!
This is so sad. I had recently corresponded with Jim. On March 11, he messaged me that he was starting the XF4U-3 Corsair Conversion Set I had created, and he had bought back in May of 2019. He was wondering if I did the lettering/numbers for the tail.
This may have been one of the last models he worked on. I appreciated his compliments of my conversion set and the great job he did with the XF4U-3.
He will be missed.
