Vought F4U-7 Corsair

1/48 Revell (Hasegawa), out of box build.including kit decals.

Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1

I do enjoy building other subjects than P-40's especially when an actual person can be associated with a model. This is my rendition of Cpt. Edward"Bud" Shaw's Corsair when he served with VMF-213 with the Cactus Air Force on [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 P-40K-1

Just another P-40 from the Bebout Curtiss Factory, this one from Hasegawa. If you've build any of their P-40's you know they use various plug in parts, enabling them to produce several different P-40 versions using a base air frame. Many [...]

F4U-1a Corsair: VF-17 - 1/48 Tamiya

This is the Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1a Corsair – an older build of mine when I first tried out Lifecolor Acrylics. These went on very smoothly but tended to clog the airbrush until I got them thinned correctly. The color differentiation [...]

Part 3 F2G Corsair Cockpit.

This is my final rendition of the 1/32 scale F2G Cockpit. Some photo's have different dates on them. Another modeler who had his own "cast-resin" company and I got together and I made some "master" parts, then he cast [...]

Video: Tamiya 1:48 F4U-2 Corsair

For a kit that's over 20 years old, Tamiya still holds their own. This was a very fun kit to build and to paint up. I was really surprised by how easy Army Painter paints were to airbrush. I used Vallejo Airbrush Thinner at about a 60-40 [...]

My Corsair family

I suspect that most people who build model airplanes are very familiar with the famous Vought F4U Corsair fighter from WWII and Korea. Likewise, many are familiar with the A7 Corsair II which served the US Navy and later the Air National [...]

Academy 1/48 F4U-1 Corsair

I bring to you my F4U-1 Corsair in 1/48th scale, a gift from Louis Gardner. This model was a labor to build. I loved the kit so much. It was a fun project and even had some unexpected challenges fit wise that I ended up solving. I thought [...]

TAMIYA 1:48 F4U-1a Corsair

Hello everyone, after observing the models on this site for a while, I found the courage to publish this creation that was commissioned to me and for which I confess that I "stole" ideas from this site too . The subject is among [...]
