What-If Build: North American FJ-1 (P-51) – Revell 1/48

This one was purely for fun, just wanted to share. I did this one up some time ago.. not really good by any means, nor was it ever meant to be. [...]
USS Saidor VMF-213 Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1D/FG-1D
At the 1976 Rickenbacker AFB Airshow I saw my first Corsair...love at first sight. The Canadian Warplane Heritage had owned and operated her for years before selling her to Brian Reynolds. Brian owns and operates the Olympic Flight Museum [...]

F4U-1a Corsair: VF-17 - 1/48 Tamiya
This is the Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1a Corsair – an older build of mine when I first tried out Lifecolor Acrylics. These went on very smoothly but tended to clog the airbrush until I got them thinned correctly. The color differentiation [...]
