Hobby Master SBD-2 Dauntless (HAHA011) as flown by VB-2 on U.S.S. Lexington before the war:
My first Dragon P-47D Thunderbolt - "Big Ass Bird II" (DRW50203) as flown by Howard Park in 513th FS in 1944-45. Looks good, weighs a tonne but the funniest thing happened - during shipping the engine fell off. Hot glue works wonders, but man, I wish my bout of bad luck would end! Lost the radio antennae too... and I don't even have a carpet monster as an excuse.
11 Bf 109s and counting.
The three newest Bf 109s - two Bf 109G-2 trops (DRW50068A & DRW50087) and the Cyber Hobby Bf 109G-6 (DRW50249) as flown by Erich Hartmann in October 1943:
"Butcher Birds" - three Corgi Fw 190s (AA34303, AA34304 & US34308) and three Dragons (DRW50079, DRW50083 & DRW50256). More coming:
Close-up of the "Papagei" staffel Fw 190D-9. The paint scheme is stunning and while I know there is talk about inaccuracies in this model, I like it:
