That's a tiny warbird! 72nd scale Tamiya Corsair is coming along. Not a perfect fit but it's a 20 year old kit!

Tamiya 1/72 F4U-1 Corsair build progress. I forget just how tiny most WW2 fighters are in this scale. Going for a full OOB experience. Well except for decals. Because who's got time for Tamiya decals!!? 😂

Small update on the very small 72nd scale Tamiya Corsair. Not many steps to this kit, so progress should be quick! Painting anything a salmon colour feels wrong! 😂

I can't wait to get started on this! My first 32nd scale kit had to be a Spitfire! And a very sad story that goes with the it.

My model cabinet is looking a bit full. Although there's room for one or two more 72nd WW2 fighters on the top shelf. Anyone have any ideas on further display systems?

There's nothing like the start of a new model kit!

Final shots of the Tamiya F-16C Block 32. Happy with the final result. It took too long really but lots happened over the past 12 months. It's not perfect, but as always I learnt a lot. Like, missiles kill my mojo! 😂

Thanks for looking.

So happy to finally complete my first F-16 Fighting Falcon! It only took me over a year.....😆

It's the Tamiya 48th scale kit and represents a Falcon from the 188th Fighter Wing, Arkansas.

Now, I need some WW2 action!!

Lucky enough to capture this beauty taking off at EGLK on Saturday evening. It flew over us quite a few times so I knew it had to be stationed locally. Stunning TR9!

While the F-16 still awaits some final touches, here's a long lost relative, The F6 Hellcat. They have much in common. Let's see!

Wings ✅
Engine ✅
Undercarriage ✅
Pilot ✅
Killer looks ✅
The number 6 in their designation ✅

So there we have it, clearly you can now see how similar they are! Happy weekend. 😉
