Tamiya 1/48 F4U Corsair
Have not been active for a while so here is a little something I have been working on and recently finished. Tamiya have made a really amazing kit with an adequate level of detail. There were very few issues during the building, painting and weathering and it was very nice to finally work on a Pacific Theater subject! Let me know what you think of the build and any advice for improvement is welcome. Thanks all!

Very nice job on what is definitely a very nice kit. No area(s) of “improvement” are visible.

That’s a lot of attention to a variety of weathering effects, and they’re all done very nicely too, All I suggest is posting more photos so we can appreciate your work from a number of angles.

A very nice Corsair! Looks road hard and hung up wet. Weathering is all about personal taste (to me anyway), and I think you hit within the bookends!
