US POST-WAR Military AVIATION

Lockheed Starfighter

1/32 Hasegawa kit built out of the box without aftermarket details. 

MCDD Phantom F4J

1/32 Tamiya kit uses a colour scheme celebrating the USA's Bicentenial.  Tamiya actually released several versions of the F4 in 1/32 and I have another F4C in my stash which will carry Vietnam colours.   The kit has resin Aires cockpit details.

Grumman Tomcat F14A

1/32 Tamiya kit with a lovely smooth mechanism that enables both wings to swing forward and back together.  Metal foil was used for the leading edge of each wing and I added a resin cockpit.


MCDD Eagle F15C

1/32 Tamiya kit with resin cockpit and ejector seat.  I think the seat in particular "pops out" and looks really realistic.  The jet intakes are movable and I added resin jet exhausts and decals for a Lakenheath-based USAF F15C from around 2002.

GD Fighting Falcon F16CJ

1/32 Tamiya kit using the included 2001 Tiger Meet colour scheme.  There are no resin enhancements here but such is the quality of the kit, I didn't feel any were needed.  The engine is removable and some of the ordnance is interchangeable.

MCDD Hornet F18C

1/32 Academy kit.  No resin enhancements were used as the build quality was good.  However the kit decals were extremely thick and didn't really conform to the shape of the plane and I wish I had used an alternative scheme.  


Northrop TIGER F5E

1/32 Hasegawa kit which like the Starfighter is clearly a reboxing of an ancient kit with little or no internal detail.  The colour scheme is supplied with the kit and no resin parts were used.

Lockheed Starfighter F104C USAF 479 Tactical Wing, 1969 (1/32 Hasegawa)

McDD Phantom F4J USS Forrestal, 1976 (1/32 Tamiya)

Grumman Tomcat F14A USS F.D Roosevelt, 1994 (1/32 Tamiya)

McDD Eagle F15C USAF Lakenheath, 2002 (1/32 Tamiya)

General Dynamics F-16CJ USAF 20 Fighter Wing, 2001 (1/32 Tamiya)

McDD Hornet F18C USS J.C Stennis, 2002 (1/32 Academy)

Northrop F-5 Tiger 2 US VFC 111, 2007 (1/32 Hasegawa)
