Academy 1/48 F-4U Corsair
Another one of my favorite Warbirds, F4-U Corsair. This Academy kit is fairly detailed, in this scale it could be richer on details, however the fittings were well satisfactory requiring little putty. I buid it direct from the box, I use aluminum as base before painting on all my planes, so scratches and scrapes are made in the most real way possible, scratching the paint with a grit sandpaper 150 already well worn. The colors of the US Navy are really cool ... I hope you enjoy ...
Looks like a nice build...gotta love those "bent-wings".

Another classic, job well done.
Hello Eduardo...Always nice to see a 'bent wing' bird. Thank you for sharing your interpretation of that classic fighter.
Looks good. I like your base coat/sand paper technique - achieved nice results with that. Good overall finish and weathering. The center section of the under fuselage area looks a bit clean for a Pacific area land-based bird, but overall a very nice looking model!
Greg, thank you for your observation, sometimes I'm careful not to overdo the weathering. But you're right, the theater of the Pacific Ocean left the well worn aircraft.
Love it ! One of my faves.
