Art Instructor out did himself this time. I love all of the aircraft built for you via Art Instructor. The F-104 and the A-7 Corsair II are of exceptional quality. The Zero and the Corsair are just as great!

Today I choose two of your museum collections as my favorites. Of course you know my choices by now, it is the Corsair and the Corsair II! Need I say more? lol!

Your friend, Toshi

[snWow] Quite the size difference between the Zero and the Corsair! Great looking builds. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for your kind compliments, Toshi! Art Instructor told me that he had problems with the decals of all kits. I knew all so well after building several dozens of 1:72 warplanes from Hasegawa and Fujimi, their decals never worked for me. But some how AI managed to make them all work, using boiled water and clear lacquer. Just amazing!

I would have thought you’d choose the Corsair but I was not sure whether the A-7 had that nickname “Corsair II”.

A few days ago “PJ” deliverd a P-51D Mustang 8th AF 1:48 (Tamiya’s) and it’s so beautiful. I’d suggest you find one and work on it.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Eric. You’re right about the size, the Corsair is much bigger and sturdier.
