Four years ago I lost my Father , he was my best friend . I could talk to him about anything that was bothering me and he would listen without criticizing and always got his honest opinion .
He was a big fan of WW 2 aircraft . I can remember going through his books and this is what got me fascinated with aircraft . So a project came to mind on building 3 of his favorite . The Spitfire , F4U-1 and the P-51D Mustang . So , Tamiya's 32 scale line of aircraft was used for the project . After getting the kits need for the build I started with the Spitfire followed by the F 4U-1 and finishing off with the Mustang . This was a long project for me .

What a great tribute to your father Terri and what beautiful models they are, the F4U is one of my all time favorite WWII aircraft.

What a magnificent quartet of what are, in my opinion, the three finest aircraft of WWII! One can clearly see the love that went into these beauties. Your Dad would be proud and honored by this heartfelt tribute. Truly splendid, sis!

That's a lovely reason to make four great models Terri, a fine honour to your fathers memory indeed.
The results are a fine testament to your building - all superb renditions but like Des I favour the F4U ;)

Hi Terri,
Your models will help you to remember the happy memories of your father.
My wife lost her own father , whom she was very close to, several years ago.
She still thinks and talks of him every day.
Your model aircraft will help to keep your father's memory alive.
Warmest wishes,
Dave

I believe immortality is the memories each of us is able to leave in someone else's heart. So your Daddy is immortal and thanks to this beautiful series of planes he lives on not only in your heart but also in our minds.
