1/48 Tamiya F4U-1A Cosair
This build was a commission build. I have a client who requests/schedules a build every year. He was a Harrier pilot for VMA-214 also known as the “Blacksheep”. For this build he requested a build of the famous F4U Corsair the Blacksheep flew and it is set in a diorama of a Pacific Island Airfield. The F4U I used was the 1/48 Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair which is mounted in a custom display case From Grandpa’s Cabinet’s featuring a typical island airfield with a Mini-Art Marston tarmac, a couple of rows of palm trees to line the back of the display, a background behind the trees of a beach/ocean view, and mounts that the client’s squadron patch and his name tag sit. I also used Eduard photo etch details to add to the realism.
Fantastic work on the model and the base !
