You've done a great job with this one, Glen. So how many US Pacific Theater vs how many Imperial Japanese planes do have going on in this contest??

By my count 3 Japanese vs 2 American.
I gotta finish that Dauntless...

Does Maly have a Corsair? We may need to even up the odds!

**Gharbad** · #**104** 02-22-2009, 04:36 PM

Sadly I don't think I've ever seen a Corsair.
I know they have a Wildcat though, but I don't have it.

Edit:
Oh wait, they do!
10 / 1990
I don't have it either obviously.

The Corsair is one of Bohdan Wasiak's designs of 1990, along with the Hellcat and the ME 109. I think the Hellcat may be the best of the bunch, and if I remember correctly, the Corsair has no interior cockpit.
There was a P-38 in the 80's somewhere (another Wasiak), don't think I've got that one, though.

Good build Glen

Thank you Barry! It was a fun one. Here's a couple shots comparing scale of Hellcat to A6M2 Hal

I swear it looks even more noticable in real life

**cjwalas** · #**108** 02-22-2009, 06:13 PM

Wow, they don't even look like they're in the same scale! I knew the Hellcat was big, but not that big! Thanks for the comparison shot.

Your welcome Chris, that is what I thought!

American planes always tended to be big. I guess having huge engines available in quantity allowed grumman engineers to think big and heavy.
Japan never had a chance in the long run......
