F4U-1 Corsair
Another Tamiya kit at 1/48 scale (all my aircraft models are at the same scale...) It belongs to US Navy VF-17 Jolly Rogers at Pacific Theatre of Operations in 1944.
1/32nd FG-1A Corsair
I suspect most any modeler who has been at it for a while decides to take on a challenge to do something a bit off the beaten track. I've always been attracted to the F4U Corsair and have lost track of how many of them I've built over the [...]
1/48 Monogram Pro-Modeler Vought F4U-5N Corsair (Hasegawa Mold)
I just cannot build enough F4U's, especially the later version models such as this "-5N". This particular model was sitting in my stash for over 10 years. I had passed it over many times because it was just a [...]
1/32 Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair VMF-214
I highly recommend this model due it's incredible level of detail out of the box, as well as, the high standard of engineering resulting in perfect fits. Yes, at over $150.00 USD, it is considered pricey, but after building this wonderful [...]

I made resin copies of Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1 oil cooler inlets, then cut out 3 of the vanes to modify them to match F4U-4 inlets. They have a much better [...]
Modeling time capsules, unboxing a classic Monogram kit
I have a thing for Monogram kits. Not just the nostalgia, which there is a great deal for me, but because they are still decent kits at a good price. I frequent a local hobby shop here in Seattle called Skyway Models. Emil the owner has [...]
Tamiya F4U-1D 1:32 Scale
Tamiya F4U-1D done. Three months elapsed time, about 120 hours work, and I missed SMW by a week, oh well there's always next year! What a superb kit! This one is being featured in a three part special in MAI (part 1 out now). All the [...]
1/32 Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage
Another recently completed build. 1/32 Tamiya F4U-1 birdcage built OOB with Eagle Edition decals. I entered it in the annual Sproo-Do model contest and show and it took a gold and Best Box Stock.
