QF-86F Sabre Aerial Target: Airfix 1/48 F-86F-40 Sabre

Hasegawa 1:48 Bf 109 K-4
I'm not a huge 109 aficionado, but I wanted to do something with RLM 81 Brown-Violet, and I wanted something on which to try out my recently acquired Paasche Raptor airbrush. I settled on the venerable Hasegawa kit, one of two or three in [...]
Accurate Miniatures 1/48 PBJ-1D Mitchell: VMB-433, Solomon Islands, 1944
This was sitting in my stash for many years before I decided to get started on it last year. I was driven to action after my son in the USMC sent me some photos of the PBJ in the SoCal CAF collection. Mitchells look good in blue!
