Architect by profession, but my secret dream is to only build scale models... my profile on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fantemode/

I made it in 2011.
Trumpeter's 1/32 F4U-4 in the livery of the training unit of the 50'S. The hint is in the profiles published by Kagero.
I took the liberty to place the load underwing although it is probably not correct.
The national [...]
