F4U-1D Corsair & Moto Tug.
This is the Tamiya 1/48th F4U-1D Corsair which came with a motor tug.
I used the kit decals, and painted the model with Aeromaster Acrylics.
The base is made of Perspex, which I painted black from below. After engraving the base, I filled [...]

A Corsair for Bob
This is a project i'd been working on for about a year and a half. Many of you out there are already aware of the backstory behind this and i can't promise that there will be any value added by repeating it here, but you never know.

Navy Ace Guy Bordelon, VC-3 Korea, Minicraft F4U-5N Corsair
This is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time now...each year passes and I would miss it, so here goes.

Vought F-4U Corsair replica (VMF-124 Black Sheep) at Parafield Pt 1
Things are slowing down a bit at the Classic Jet Fighter Museum at Parafield, right outside Adelaide in South Australia. A few bits have been sold off to other museums (the P-39 Airacobra to a Moscow museum apparently, a complete Mirage [...]

More often than not I now find myself building a model based on some photo that grabs me. Such is the case with this Corsair build. I used the HobbyBoss F4U-4 with the curved windscreen or as HobbyBoss calls it, the early version. The [...]
Corsair A7D – Commission Build
A major departure from my usual subjects - I tend to stick to 1/32 WWI aviation, but this 1/72nd A7D was built under commission, as a presentation piece for the pilot who flew the original, pictured below. He was an RAF Test Pilot, on an [...]
