Next up, after years of collecting references.....
After years of collecting references and figuring I could build the Revell 1/32 corsair into something decent, Tamiya comes out with another super kit. When it was first out it was too rich for my blood, but as these things go, patience [...]
Tamiya 1/48 P-51D
I recently picked up the limited-release "P-51D 8th AF Aces" kit from an estate sale at the LHS. I hadn't picked this up when first released because I wasn't sure I wanted to do anything with the kit decals. As it turned out, [...]

The Douglas F4D-1 Skyray was the first Navy fighter capable of that could exceed Mach 1 in level flight. It was the first carrier-based fighter to hold the world's absolute [...]
Tamiya 1/48th P-47D Razorback
I built this kit over the past month and a half, and I was amazed at the excellent fit and detail right out of the box. I added Eduard photoetch details to the cockpit, brake lines to the main gear and the wiring harness to the engine, but [...]
Best kit I ever built!
Ok, as I said earlier I am late to the party, but I only recently have been able to afford such wonderful kits as the Tamiya 1/32 series. Now practically speaking I have learned what I don't spend in after market makes up the difference, [...]
