Building, painting and finishing scale aircraft models.
One from the vault, back in 2002, before the dawn of digital photography. The Tamiya F4U-1D with the CMK resin conversion to create an F4U-4.

Things seem a little slow here at iModeler, so I’m reaching back into the past for an oldie but goodie.
I present to you my 1/48 Monogram P-47D, with drop tanks, bombs and prop from the Academy kit. Decals by Superscale #48-624 for the [...]
