In addition to the 1/144 WWI planes, I dabble in 1/200 WWII ones. As here:
You'll see some I-16s, including a Chinese one on the far right. The rest are a mix of Netherlands East Indies (Buffalo, P-35 Hawk), RAF (Whirlwind, P40 Tomahawk), Luftwaffe(Bf 110D), Finnish (Buffalo, P-35 Hawk), Soviet (I-16, I-152, P-39 Airacobra), Japanese(Ki-27 Nate, Ki-43 Oscar), USAAC(P-39Airacobra), Chinese (I-16, I-152, P-35 Hawk) and French(P-35 Hawk).

Yes, it's about the size of a butterfly. Fokker D.VI of the Luftstreitkrafte, 1918. Covered in the standard printed 4 colour lozenge fabric. Required 32 decals, 13 of which are visible in the photo. Plus painting of course.
Grognard:
awesome work there.
any chance of getting a F4U Corsair in VMA-214 colors?
Or do you paint for hire?

I don't paint for hire, but know some far better painters who do. Bespoke decals are my speciality, those I do for others overseas. I don't charge, just ask them to do helpful favours for others, the way I do for them.
I have some F4U-1s unpainted, in 1/200 scale, and can get those done up in VMA-214 colours. Note though that Boyington flew an F4U-1a with a bubble not greenhouse canopy. I'd do Rinabarger's.
Now if you want a model, there are many 1/144 ones available. Armaments in Miniature do very nice F4Us of all kinds in 1/200, and those are what I'd recommend if you want one yourself.
If you really, really want one, I'll order one ( just add it to my next order) paint it, decal it according to your wishes, and send it to you. Or I could do up one of the shapeways ones. Do you want a picture, or the aircraft model?
Grognard:
I have a pair by GHQ in 1/285th, brand new in their package.
I think your work is spectacular, and would love to have an aircraft model you've done.
I offer a trade: new minis, or finished models (try not to laugh) or ca$h.
