Modelling early Wellesley Squadrons in 1/72

19 - 1/72 Italeri RAH-66 Comanche
What a fun build this was, the Italeri 1/72 RAH-66 Comanche
Only 2 prototypes were ever made and the one was black and the other Helo Drab. I decided to do something a little different and created a What if US marines version.

Classic Kit: Airfix 1/72 Vought F4U Corsair No. 115 1964
This is an older build but I did document the building process. I had spare parts from Hasegawa and True Details that I used to add detail. I used a Squadron vac-form canopy as well. As can be seen the clear parts are dismal as is the [...]
