Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Mk. IX early

TRICERATOPS-EURYCEPHALUS ?
Tamiya produced this 1/35th scale dinosaur kit around 2011-2012 so I bought it.

Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat "White 18" – Tamiya 1/48
This build is the first of a series of Grumman 'cats that I plan to build in time. The kit is the revered Tamiya offering with the pronounced rivet details. This kit went together exceptionally well, no surprise there. I finished this one [...]

In addition to the "Korea the Forgotten War" group build that will last during the exact time frame as the war did, (only 70 years later), here's another one I was thinking about.
