1/48 Tamiya F4F-4

A rare 1/48th scale build from me. This is the Tamiya F4F-4. I added some Eduard PE in the cockpit along with oil cooler screens as well as a Ultracast seat, and Aires ventral position lights. I used a vac canopy for the sliding section. [...]

IBG 1/72 Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-15 Torpedo Bomber
