FAA Corsair MkII

Hi All, Here is my 1/72 scale Hobby Boss Corsair F4U-1a or as the FAA called it Corsair MkII. The kit comes pretty much done its basically like a snap together with a minimal parts count i like these kits a lot! i treat them like a [...]

Royal Navy Corsair II Tamiya 1/48

Always a favourite with me & I know I'm not alone. Tamiya do a superb kit here & I really like this colour scheme for the Fleet Air Arm. This one has the clipped wing tips necessary to fit (folded) in the hangar deck & [...]

1/48th Tamiya F4U-1A

The Tamiya 1/48th Corsair kits (F4U-1, -1A and -1D) are extremely nice to work with and go together smoothly. I'd rank them as the best Corsair kits available in that scale. The plane I've modeled is a FG-1A (Goodyear produced) Corsair in [...]

1/48 Hasegawa F4U-5N Corsair

A few years back a friend of mine asked me to build a Korean war aircraft for her father who served on the USS Boxer in Korea. I built her this F4U-5N from Hasegawa to give to her dad. The model is almost OOB, but I did add PE seatbelts. [...]

Following on James Kelley's excellent article on the 32nd scale Tamiya Birdscage, and because i am totally bereft of originality, i thought i'd post an article on my latest labour of love. This is my latest 72nd scale Corsair, Number 3, [...]

Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1 “Birdcage” Corsair

It's finished, at last. 🙂 I started this project in August 2013. I finished it up yesterday. There's really nothing I can say that hasn't already been said...it's the best kit I've ever built. It's built out of the box, with the [...]

Ira Kepford’s VF-17 F4U Corsair

I found a couple of old pics of the Corsair model that I built from the Revell 1/32 kit with that beautiful box art, I think by Jack Leynwood. This is one of those models I started in the City, and finished in the country! Many years [...]

1/32nd Trumpeter F4U-1D Conversion To F4U-1A

This model was originally finished as a F4U-1A in the markings of VMF-222. The original build had a True Details cockpit installed as the kit cockpit had numerous errors. I also changed the frameless kit F4U-1D canopy and substituted the [...]

1/48 Otaki F4U-1A Vought Corsair (FAA)

The Otaki 1/48 Corsair is probably one of the oldest Corsair models in my small collection. While there isn't a whole lot of detail, it is a very simple, and sturdy, build. The decal sheet offers 3 options. Once again, trying to vary [...]
