The Derek Brown Collection

This is the Imai 1/144 scale A6M5 Zero,

and includes a scratch built  interior, engine, landing gear, and flaps

- just for fun.

Hasegawa 1/200 Scale All Nippon Airways 737-200, built out of the box

AMS - check out the cockpit on the 1/700 scale Val.

This is the old L/S version of the 1/72 scale Dinah. This model was in Fine Scale

Modeler some time back. Each engine cylinder is scratch built over 500 parts in each engine,

with a full cockpit added for fun.

This kit is the old 1/72 scale Mania kit of the Nakajima B5N2 Kate,

which  holds up very well by today's standards. I added a scratch

built engine and for fun engineered folding wings. SNJ paint was used, with

separate panels masked and sprayed for that "individual panel" look.

This is the Fine Molds 1/72 scale Type 90 Japanese biplane,

a very nice kit (if you can find it these days). The engine and interior are scratch built.

This is the early Hasegawa (raised rivets) kit of the A6M2 in 1/72 scale. 

The engine, interior and flaps were scratch built, and the panel lines scribed.

The markings are of Saburo Sakai's Zero that he flew from Rabaul.
