    1956 Seahawk Duck Egg Green

    I've never had good luck trying to color match colors on the internet. The color you get on your screen depends a lot on your monitor settings.

    What a beauty! I've got the Hasegawa version tick away in the back of my closet. This makes me want to dig it out and start planning. Thank you sir for sharing your wonderful build with us.

    1/72 P-47B "Double Twister"

    I've never understood the purpose of counter rotating props. Is it to counter balance the effect of engine torque or just to grab more air? I'm kind of new here but I've been a model builder since I was 7-8. Currently 67.

    What's the oldest kit in your stash?
