PTO builds you say?
I'm in with my classic Monogram SBD, built as close to intended by the gang in Morton Grove as I could, then my Monogram TBD, with some scratchbuilt details, and my Tamiya 1/32 Corsair! I actually think the SBD is my favorite, brought [...]
1/32 Tamiya F4U-1D

My pride & joy F2G Corsair got ruined by my stupidity...I should have did an experiment before I put the soda on the model...RJW
