Oh no!... not another one of those snake Stukas.... Hasegawa 1/48 Ju-87R-trop

I added a few things here & there- [...]
(Revised) 1/48 Hobby Boss F4U-1 “Early” Corsair, Great Lakes recovery Bureau Number 02465 “F-21”
Tonight I revised the article on my latest build, a Hobby Boss F4U-1 "early", which is hot off the work bench. The revision is due in part by observations and information from our fellow Imodeler members, namely my friends and [...]
