Tamiya, 1:48 scale F4F-4, converted to an FM-1, "Wildcat"
Another of my favorite aircraft to model, Grumman's F4F, "Wildcat" and any of it's variations. I won't go into a long diatribe of how good the Tamiya F4F is, If you've built one you already know that. If you have NOT...please [...]

The Hobby Boss 1/72 F4F-4 Wildcat / Martlet Mk.V
The Hobby Boss 1/72 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, "Easy Assemble Authentic Kit".
I got this as a christmas gift from my in-laws back in 2008 & though I don't normally do 1/72 scale I thought it would be a simple project to get [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat
Seeing as we're having a bit of a Wildcat theme going on here I thought I'd post my efforts as well.
As has been written before the Tamiya Wildcat is a great kit to build.
Pretty straightforward in construction, the only fiddly bit I [...]
First of the Vero Beach Projects- The Tamiya F4F-4 Wildcat (1/48th Scale)
I'm not sure what i can say about the Tamiya F4F that hasn't already been said by others. It marked Tamiya's return (in a BIG way) to the 48th scale aircraft segment, it filled a ginormous gap in WWII Naval Aviation subjects (and spelled [...]
Tamiya A-10
I had this idea, building an aircraft with the landing gear transitioning from down to up, rolling around upstairs for a couple of years (about the time I started building this model). I wasn't sure how to go about how to display it so it [...]
More Tamiya 1/48 Mustangs...Tuskegee Airmen
These kits were straight out of the box except the decals, they are from Warbird Decals. The P-51C is from the 302nd FS, 332nd FG Tuskegee Airmen "INA The Macon Belle" Pilot 1st Lt. Lee "Buddy" Archer and the P-51D is [...]
1/48 Tamiya Mustangs. OLD CROW set
I just love the Tamiya 1/48 Mustang kits. They go together so well. I found all the decals to do Bud Anderson's Old Crow set. Just need to add the P-39 and the F-105D Old Crow II. I did these over about 3 or 4 months. All are Tamiya kits [...]
1:32 scale, Hasegawa P-47M-1-Re, "Thunderbolt"
This is another one of my "Jugs" that currently reside at the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale, NY. I think between Koppos and myself, we have a few there... ;).
It's a big model, so before you get into building her, make [...]
Tamiya 1:48 scale Republic P-47M-1-Re, "Thunderbolt"
Another fine model from Tamiya. I won't go into a whole bit about HOW great this kit is, but suffice to say, it's awesome.
The upper surfaces of the model are painted in Model Master Enamels, in a very VERY dark blue, which looks almost [...]
