1952 P-47 pilot

Very nice model! Cuban. right? Where did you get the markings?

I think that Corsair is to die for...

they are aero master 48-344a.The rudder flags are FUBR found article in the book latin P-47 and showed early P-47's with colored cowls and matching color bands on tail. so I gave it a shot thank you on the corsair 

Nice jug and figure Crown. Here are a couple of shots of my 1/48 Sea Fury done in Alclad. This was in the first batch of Sea Furies Batista got in early 1958.  Did you ever go to Orange Blossom Hobbies on 36 St? That was my hangout for eons till they went belly up.

Beautiful sea fury I made one in OD and yes I've been to orange  blossom since 1976 any thing in the hobby world was there

"any thing in the hobby world was there"

Thanks Crown. Yes they had everything and anything for our hobby. I enjoyed talking with Pat, Gary Cruz and Charlie. That was one great store.

 

 

Charlie retired a ways back but I have seen Pat he works on boats by Miami city hall

Very nice!  I can imagine it with a flight line and backdrop as a photo taken by Life Magazine or by one of his fellow pilots to be sent home to family.  Do you intend to put together a flight line scene and base? 

All the best,

Dan
