During World War
Two, I collected hundred's of black and white, and color photos of our
fighters and bomber's. The enclosed photo of a Corsair setting in a
revetment on Vella Lavella is one of my favorites. When I got back into
modeling in 1977, I knew that one day down the road, I just had to build a
model of "MARY-Jo 911."

I purchased a 1/72
scale Tamiya F4U-1D kit in 2004, and build my model almost out of the box,
so it looked like the Corsair that's in the photo.
I found the name
of "MARY Jo" and the "911" numbers in my collection of
Superscale decals. I used coral sand on my base, which came from a beach
by the name of "Lefaga," on the island of Upolu, Samoa in
1971.
