  1. I'll be watching, I've had one in the stash for a long time.  Did you add the wheel well detail?  Been awhile since I looked at the kit but I don't remember that.

  2. Hi, Ed, welcome!  Some of the posters have web sites where the post there builds.  I do, and you are welcome to look at what I've done.  There are build logs for most of what I have built there.  But it's important to post what you do on the forum if you want feedback or just like to share what you do.

  3. Thanks, Carlos.   Yeah, that and all the figures which are pretty much done.  I'm thinking a few more Hurricanes and Spitfires would be good too...I know, Big Ideas, but too much time and effort going into the garage project to do all that very soon.

  4. Here's my 2021 output:

    Airfix Hurricane Ready for Battle set.  The figures are also done but not pictured.  A great set.

    The F-15's are all the 1/32 Tamiya kits, and the Su-27's are the 1/32 Trumpeter kits.  These 5 were built to be props for a movie.  The A-18 is the 1/72 LF kit, the Me-109V-1  is the 1/72  MPM kit, and to end with a total regression, the Aurora Se-5.  I really should spend a little more time on that one, cleaning up the flying wire attachments.

  5. Well done, Carlos, and good shot with the Hellcat.

    Mark, Sakai's last combat was in the A6M2 marked V-107 on August 7, 1942.  He had a long convalescence and the other combat flying he did was based in Iwo Jima and Japan, if I remember correctly.  He didn't get back to combat flying until early 1944. Iwo was where he had the big furball with Hellcats and finally escaped by maneuvering the fight to where there was enough flak that the Hellcats gave up.  That was in an A6M5.  He also flew the George and the Raiden during that time.
