Jim Sullivan Group Build: Vought F4U-1A Corsair "Big Hog"
Even though it took a longer time than expected, I finally finished my contribution to honor Jim Sullivan.
Jim has been a very important person for all aviation enthusiasts and therefore it is an honor to be able to remember Jim by [...]
Vintage Tamiya 1/25 Tiger I finished!

Here is my latest completed project, my only build for the year sadly, Tamiya’s He-162 in 1/48 scale.
It’s a great kit but not one of Tamiya’s best in my opinion. It comes with the option of interchangeable open and closed engine [...]
