I just had to find out who this person is ....

I found out that this is Young C. Park

His Bio and other pictures of his work can be seen at ... http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Park.htm
PLEASE ... take the time to study the pics there

Its all hand made, and I'm thinking from looking at the photos, it all works ... astounding!
Edit: It does work, all control linkages go to their respective parts and all surfaces and trim tabs are hooked up and move
His skill advanced so much during the making of the above Corsair that he built another one, even more detailed and finely finished :shocked:

Both his Corsairs and the P51 can be seen at ... The Joe Martin Foundation Museum and Machine Shop Facility in Vista, CA ... http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/facility.htm


I never get tired of seeing others skilled craftsmanship, they are inspirational works works of art.

Wow -- thank you for posting this. The models are stunning. I wonder how many young people are still working at developing these kinds of meticulous skills?
 
My ex husband was an avid modeler and went to many competitions. Alot of the detail that you see is from pieces that were created from scraps of kits etc. The hours spent to this detail is amazing. On his days off, he would spend hours working on creating greater detail in his models. Tanks were his passion, and since he was a Tank Commander, it was no surprise.

Splendid! :thumb:
 
Very neat stuff
 
Very good! :)

I'd be even more impressed if the canons and gauges worked :wink:

I think the same skills are developed, using a different kind of model assembly...

Ha, they're too busy using their hands to control joysticks or mice with video games
