Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1 Corsair.....oh no, not another one.....

Here's my completed Tamiya Corsair. Tamiya paint, oil washes and weathering. Not much more can be said about this kit. It's awesome. Goes together like a dream. It's perfect. The base is from Just Plane Stuff and painted with a mix of [...]

1/48 Hasegawa F4U-4 Corsair

Here'a another one of my older builds, Hasegawa's 1/48 F4U-4 Corsair. Released in 1981 (over 32 years ago!) the Hasegawa -4 features good fit, excellent overall shape and outline, raised panel lines for those who care (I do not), and very [...]

Review: Tamiya 1/32 F4U in-work

These shots were taken from the open gunner's seat of the museum's T-6 - the best photo platform possible, turned around facing aft completely out in the open. The nice pretty blue shots were taken in November 2002, a beautiful, perfect [...]

For those who can’t afford the big Tamiya – try the 21 Century Toys Corsair

Here is the 21st Century Toys F4U-1A Corsair, done as Ike Kepford's VF-17 F4U-1A, and another one modified with the Montex conversion set to do an anonymous Marine F4U-1 "birdcage" circa the Rabaul campaign in late [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Vought F4U-1a Corsair

I've finished another kit, it's a little rough around the edges but I'm happy with the outcome.
