From the Hornet’s nest: Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat at Midway
My contribution to the Battle of Midway Group Build - Hobby Boss' 1/48th scale F4F-4 Wildcat in the markings of VF-8 from USS Hornet.

Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4 “Wildcat”: My First Build of this kit…
Before Tamiya released their 1:48 scale F4F-4 "Wildcat", there was only the old Monogram kit. The Monogram kit was little more than a toy, having folding wings and other "Features" that just made the kit a very [...]
Hobby Boss 1/48 F4U-7
I built this as a tribute to a fellow modeller who passed away last December, one day short of his 26th birthday. He wanted to build this aircraft as it had an interesting history: serving with the French Aeronavale, one of the aircraft in [...]

1/48 HobbyBoss Early F4U-4
More often than not I now find myself building a model based on some photo that grabs me. Such is the case with this Corsair build. I used the HobbyBoss F4U-4 with the curved windscreen or as HobbyBoss calls it, the early version. The [...]
Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat in 1/48.
Long a favourite of mine, I waited for a better kit than the Academy offering but have not found one. Unfortunately the HB kit seems to suffer from a number of issues which made me stick to what I had in the stash. This one has a resin [...]
