I added a seat, scribed the bird, and added shrikes from a Trumpeter F-105 (which I had to fix).

This is my Tamiya 1/48 Scale F4U-1A corsair painted in the markings of Lt. JG. Danny Cunningham during his first tour with VF-17 flying out of Ondongo Airfield in the South West Pacific.
Hope you like it.
