I have 41 images sent by a Caricturist friend of mine,which wassent to him via a Japanese friend In Hawaii of an older modeler,I think either in Japan or HI.

The problem is I don't know how to post the images from my email indivually here for all to see...!!??

So if your interested send me your email address via this site and I'll send it out!

Amazing work,this man does...making large scale (1/32 plus) all metal aircraft which include half open "skin" frames and best of all movable parts based on the real WWII subjects,a F4U with folded wings,and a P-51D even the poseable pilot was carved from aluminium!! 

Young Park is the modelers name,he donated the Corsair to the Joe Martin Foundation who has it on display in the Sherline Building in Vista,CA a suburb of San Diego!!

No doubt Park is a master modeler. Here's another example of an astonishing feat of scratch building from a different modeler named Jean-Pierre Cousinet.  A 1/3 scale Spitfire. I can't imagine completing a project like this. I wouldn't know where to start. Check out the rivet detail in the close-up shots.
