Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
I built this for a Jolly Rogers group build elsewhere a few years ago. I used the kit decals and the Eduard "Big Ed" photoetch set. This was the first Tomcat I actually managed to finish... no fault of any of the kits I started, [...]

Scanning books and the internet for Japanese aircraft, especially those few samples that [...]
