Agreed.

I’m a big fan of the Hellcat, and yours turned out excellent! Brett

Thank you, unfortunately it looks like they are out of stock, but it appears to be a pretty comprehensive set. I’ll have to inquire if they will be restocking. Much appreciated! Brett

Hey fellow model builders, as the title says, I'm trying to find if there is an after market conversion to do folded wings for the Tamiya F4U-1 1:72 kit? My google searches have not yielded any results. Thanks for looking.

Falcon, These look great, I really like the blue one, very colorful and well executed. Brett

Amazing work and flawless finish! Brett

Thanks Dutch! Sorry to hear that you aren't currently able to build, thats how it was for me a for a few months until recently, so it was nice to jump back into this build. I have a few 1:72 kits I will be working on next, in particular, an in-flight super hornet build I have planned. Thanks for the kind words, Brett

Plane is complete, I've posted it over in the display case: Cheers, Brett

Finished up my current build over the weekend. Thanks for looking. This is the amazing Tamyia kit. I also added the Eduard Big Ed photo etch set. Decals are from EagleCals.

Almost there. I’ve started adding all of the smaller pieces and I’m excited to be able to wrap this up. I couldn’t resist a black and white photo, see how close I was getting to the original photo. Cheers, Brett

This is amazing, especially since it's 1:72 scale! Fantastic work. I'm curious about the purpose of that divider in the front windscreen, do you know? Thanks, keep up the amazing work, Brett

Getting really close to the end on this one. After a second coat of gloss to seal in the decals, I ran Tamyia Panel line accent around the air frame. Dark brown for the underside and tail and black for the upper surfaces. This was followed by a coat of Testors Dull Coat. With the dull coat on, I could now start getting all of the major components together. Up on her wheels for the first time. It's all coming together. Speaking of wheels, I think I'm going to source some resin wheels, I'm not happy with the kit wheels, the thread

Following with interest, your plumbing and scratch work is exceptional. Need to study this when I eventually build my Tomcat. -Brett

Short Update. Gloss coat and decals have been applied. Cheers, Brett
