This is a good pick

There should be more models done of the Korean War. It was a long, bitterly fought 'police action" and needs greater representation. 

Many of the navy aircraft are available as vacuforms. 

At least the navy camouflage scheme is pretty simple, One basic blue color. Buy a bucket of it and you are set for life. :lol:

Great point--

 

I have the F-51, F-80, F-84 and F-86 as well as (now) the AT-6.  I've only manage to build the Sea Fury to date, though.  For the opposition, there's really only the MiG-15 (which needs major work) and the Yak-18 "Bedcheck Charlie."   Some of the Soviet prop jobs flown by the NKs would be nice!

 

And yeah, an F9F NOT in resin...

thanx guys, i am working o the ordnance and will finish ghis one soon. planning on a marine corsair...(i would like to do a -5 or AU-1, but there is no kit of a longnose version)

i think the trumpy kit is pretty nice aside from the prop blades. i built it pretty much oob, but used the bombs of the ZM skyraider though
