1/48th Hasegawa F4U-4 (Hybrid)
Having seen a photo of a F4U-4 Corsair in unusual markings I was motivated to attempt to model that plane. The final shot in this presentation is of the actual plane used as the basis of the build. That Corsair was a F4U-4 from VBF-81 in [...]
Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair, 1/48. A Folded Bird.
Afternoon folks, here's another older build and another Corsair, this time it was my first attempt at trying to handle the ANA 623 Sea Blue.
This Corsair was built alongside my previous post, the Birdcage F4U-1, and was started early [...]
Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair, 1/48.
The first of many Tamiya Corsairs I did was this one, built alongside an F4U-1D. I started this back in April last year and completed in just 3 weeks, which is a record for me but that is largely due to having plenty of time off due to [...]
1/72nd Hawk F4U-1D
A good friend recently gifted me with an old 1/72nd Hawk F4U-1D Corsair kit. Since I had built many of them in my earlier years of modeling (the original kits came out around 1959), I figured I'd go ahead and give it a shot. The kit is [...]
HobbyBoss F4U-4 Corsair, 1/48. A Small Build Review of Sorts.
The Hobbyboss kit is proof that newer isn't necessarily better, but as an old Hasegawa F4U-4 was the first model I built upon returning to the hobby I felt that 3 years later it was time to have a stab at another F4U-4. In fact, I decided [...]
Tamiya F4U-2,1/48. The First Navy Nightfighter.
What inspires you to choose a kit or a scheme? For this model it was a post on this very forum that is a large reason.
My long term goal is to build a Corsair of every variant in 1/48, starting from the simple F4U-1 by Tamiya and ending in [...]
Tamiya Corsair Mk.II, 1/48. The Fleet Air Arm.
Greetings folks,
After getting more into the hobby and posting on a few other places, I've decided to make an account here and post my most recent builds. Critique is always important, and keeping confined to one forum or social media can [...]
Heller F4U-7 in 1/48
Presented for review: Aéronavale F4U-7 F.14.9, USN Bureau No 133690, by Heller, in 1/48. As noted in many French F4U articles, the black and yellow ID stripes were for 'Operation Musketeer', aka the Suez Crisis of 1956.
Heller did [...]
Third Corsair
Hi everyone, this time, I built yet another Corsair. I wanted to make it more detailed so I used Eduard PE seatbelts and resin wheels. I also wanted to open up one wing and add in a gunbay. I wasn’t able to find any resin gunbays but I [...]
Greg Boyington’s ‘photo’ F4U-1a Corsair.

I use and spare engine from a Hobbycraft Corsair, an Ultracast seat, A Falcon Vac canopy, aluminum [...]
