The Incredible Miniatures Of Young C. Park

Intricate. (Via)

Young C. Park is a formerHawaiian dentist/current hobbyist who decided to dedicate his spare time to model making. A safe and quiet way to spend one's time, considering Mr. Park is around 77 years old and retired. Everything so far sounds like a pretty common retiree activity, until you get to see the actual models Mr. Park has built over the years. I mean, the level of detail is beyond the realm of credibility. When I first saw the pictures I thought that the planes were  mock ups or pictures of full scale engines and fuselages, but boy I was wrong.

If you're a detail freak, like most hobbyists worth their salt are prepare to be amazed. After the break,  a selection of images of some truly incredible aluminum WWII planes recreated in 1:16 scale. Enjoy!
