1/72 Revell F4U-4B
Revell's quite recent kit of the F4U-4 which has some short cuts and emmisions due to being offered as both an F4U-1 and F4U-4. I didn't bother with most of the inaccuracies and built the kit mostly out of the box. The overall shape [...]
Revell 1/32 F4U-1A Corsair
This is Revell's 1/32 Corsair from around the time I was born, so it's old. I picked it up for £10 during last year's Black Friday sales, due to the minimal investment I felt it was a ripe candidate for experimentation and it's the first [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Scale WW2 Aircraft Carrier Tug
Hello all, I updated this post with pics of the painted tug operator added.
Well while I wait for another F-104 kit to arrive I decided to cut the boredom by building the little tug that came with my 1/48 scale Corsair kit. Took me a whole [...]
