Good morning: This is my first posting to this group. I have included a few photos of my recently completed Hobbyboss F4U-4B in 1/48 scale. I added Aires wheel wells and cockpit along with some True Details "un-flattened" [...]
I took a few pictures the other day of a Corsair model I had built a few years ago before it left for it's new home. A friend wanted it for his Grandson and had me add his nickname onto the model. This was built during my weathering [...]

I found a couple of old pics of the Corsair model that I built from the Revell 1/32 kit with that beautiful box art, I think by Jack Leynwood. This is one of those models I started in the City, and finished in the country! Many years [...]
