USAF Northrop / McDonnell Douglas YF-23 Hobby Boss 1/48

It is a prototype stealth fighter developed for the US Air Force in 1990. It wasn't deployed because it was not selected. At the time of its release, it was talked about as a rather maniac aircraft.

US Navy Fighter FJ-4 Fury Hobby Boss 1/48

This time, I will make Hobby Boss FJ-4 Fury. It is the same era as the F-86 Saber, so it has a similar impression. If you look at the wings, they are completely different, but I think the streamlined form is also a cool airplane.

USAF F-16A Fighting Falcon Hasegawa 1/48

Hasegawa's F-16A Fighting Falcon kit. The other day, I was looking for Playstation 2 software and dug it together from the back of the closet. I found it with the Tamiya German Hs 123 I made the other day. This is a little too old. When did I buy this?

US Navy General Purpose Helicopter HSS-1N Monochrome Trumpeter 1/48

U.S. Air Force T-33A Shooting Star Academy 1/48

This time it's the Academy's T-33A shooting star. The Cartograf decals look high quality, and the instrument panel details look good. The reproduction of the landing gear compartment is also relatively good for an old kit.

US Navy F8F-2 Bearcat Hobby Boss 1/48

The U.S. Navy Bearcat is finally complete. I've made an F6F Hellcat before, and it's a bit smaller than that. It's smaller than Zero. Because the F6F was too large to be used in escort carriers without a catapult, the goal was to have a fighter that could be used in smaller escort carriers. And yet the engines were so powerful that they could win a mock battle against the captured Zero.

H-21C Shawnee “Flying Banana” Italeri 1/48

This marking is U.S. Army, 93rd Transport Company, Da Nang, Vietnam, 1963. The 1/48 scale is about 35 centimeters long. It's a tandem rotor with rotors on the front and back, so considering that the display space is much larger, it's awe-inspiring.

F-14A Tomcat Atlantic Fleet Squadrons Hasegawa 1/72

I made it with the U.S. Navy 31st Fighter Squadron VFA-31 "Tomcatters." It is characterized by the picture of the American cartoon character, Phillix with a bomb as a motif of a black cat. I used the 1/72 scale Air Craft Weapon III U.S. air-to-air missile set, sold separately by Hasegawa. 6 AIM-54 Phoenix and 2 AIM-9L Sidewinders.

Grumman F9F-2P Panther Reconnaissance Trumpeter 1/48

I built the F9F Panther. At first, I had the impression that the airplane was shaped like a flying squirrel and it was more ugly than I thought. The panel line and rivet marks were emphasized a little by washing, etc., and I felt it was a surprisingly beautiful streamlined airplane.

F-100D Super Sabre Thunderbirds Trumpeter 1/48

This time, I made a Trumpeter kit with a special decal for the Thunderbirds, a Super Sabre acrobatic team. The markings were for Captain Merrill A. McPeak at the 1967 Air Show. He has made hundreds of sorties in the Vietnam War. He was eventually named Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force.

I built the Revell F-15E Strike Eagle. I built the F-15E Strike Eagle which is 1/48 scale of the level. This is said to be the best kit in F-15E. I like it because it is easy to make, the parts match well and the mold is precise. Marking is the335th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Chiefs" 4th Fighter Wing. It's during the Desert Storm mission in the Gulf War of February 1991.

Using a Superscale Decal, I built the VFA-136, the 136th Combat Attack Squadron Nighthawks. It looks like the marking when they visited the United Kingdom on D-Day anniversary with the USS George Washington.
