1/32 Tamiya F4U-1D
My recently completed Corsair with a few extras added. Unfortunately the aerial rigging got washed out in the photo, but it's there.
This was a wonderful model to build.
Tamiya/CMK F4U-4 Corsair
One from the vault, back in 2002, before the dawn of digital photography. The Tamiya F4U-1D with the CMK resin conversion to create an F4U-4.
The F4U Corsair was supposed to be the next fleet defense fighter for the Navy when it was [...]
Sherman
I made this a while ago put forgot to post it. Since I only had wood at the time, it was used for the base and the details. Both the Sherman and Anti tank gun are from Tamiya.

Three kits in one really. The Trolley and the Arado were little gems that were a joy to build but the [...]
Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair 1/48 Scale
When Tamiya came out with their excellent Corsair, I had to jump at the chance to build one. Of coarse this led to another and another, and so on. You know how that is !
Plenty has been said about the kit, over the last few years so I'll [...]
So you want to be a Naval Aviator?
I haven't posted in a bit as I continue on with my Trumpeter A-1H build. I decided I wanted a pilot in the cockpit, but my choices in 1/32 were pretty much...nadda. The ZM pilot is hard to find, and not all that great. Aerobonus does [...]
