This is the “FrankenOscar”, an AML kit salvaged with LS fuselage and cowling components. The model is painted based upon a profile in Thorpe. I built a 1/32 Revell Oscar in this scheme many, many years ago during my miss-spent youth and have always found it attractive. Hope you do too! The aircraft is of 1 Chutai / 1 Sentai on home defense duties at Shimodate, Japan in 1943. All markings are painted on.

It was the Revell kit. Built a 1/32 scale Corsair too!

Once you had realized 1/32 scale was that big, you then switched to 1/72 scale?

These were just exceptions, I saw the benefits of standardizing scale early and favored 1/72 for a number of reasons. The Corsair was a gift for my Grandfather, he was a big fan of Baa Baa Blacksheep.

You’re right, that is a very attractive scheme. I never laid eyes on the Revell 1/32nd Oscar when I was a kid. If I’d done so, I would’ve jumped on it. I did build two of their 1/72nd kits as a kid though, started a love affair with that a/c.
Great job on this one Jeff.
