My Other Ocean Water Model.
This is my first water base diorama model which is a 1/144th scale "Martin PBM-5 Mariner" made by Revell about 15 years ago. I should have posted this model first, then post the "Kingfisher."
The model was built o.o.b. [...]
A “water-base” diorama
The "box-art" shows Revell's 1/48 scale "OS2U Kingfisher" scout type seaplane setting in the ocean. Since I had built a diorama water-base before I though that I would do it again.

Tamiya Swordfish Mk.II 1/48, Any Color as long it's Black

1/48 Scale Lindberg XF-91 Jet/Rocket Experimental Fighter
Lindberg made an excellent starter kit for the "Advanced" modeler like me, so I went full-bore on the project by scratch-building just about everything.
All 3 landing gears were made out of aluminum and styrene. I cut in the [...]
1/48 Scale P-47D Thunderbolt "SWEET MUSIC."
Back in 2007 I found a photo of this P-47D Thunderbolt and I bought a kit of it. The decals came from "AeroMaster Decals." When we moved from Colorado in 2016 to a town near the Los Angeles area of California, the model was [...]
