1/48th Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair

More and more I find myself building to model a plane that appeals to me as a result of seeing it in a photo. That was the case in my FG-1A build. The actual plane was FG-1A 13374 which was a stock Goodyear Corsair modified to flight test [...]

1/48th Hasegawa F4U-5 In The Markings Of VF-44 In 1949

I just finished this Corsair yesterday. It's the 1/48th Hasegawa F4U-5 done in the 1949-era markings of VF-44. The kit is very well engineered with the exception of the fitment of the cowling where it joins with the fuselage. The cowling [...]
