Tamiya kit, 1:48 F4U Corsair
A very easy kit to build with good decals also. I actually used three different Testors paint colors on the main body of this model. I added the skull and crossbones decal to the tail because I had it left over, even though I am aware [...]
Revell F4U-4 Corsair VMF-214 “Black Sheep” Squadron, off the USS Sicily (CVE-118) Korea 1951
This model was ok to build but the wing to wing roots presented a problem in the fit of them. But with patience, I finished it. The decals are of good quality and I had extras which I reapplied two times because I had the wrong placement [...]

VF-84 F4U-1D Corsair
A little throwback today. Since I haven't finished anything in awhile I thought I'd dig into the archives. I posted a few of these pics on other sites here and there but never here. 1/48 Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair finished around 1999/2000. [...]
1/48 Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair – little to no weathering
This is my second attempt to build a Corsair, I tried something new to me: highlighting with the airbrush. Started from a black base, kept the paint inside the panels as tight as possible along the panel lines, than added some tan to the [...]
Tamiya F4U-1A, 1/48. Silver Sally.
This is a build I started a few months ago as a side project and have slowly got round to finishing this last week. When I was researching for a previous Corsair build I came across this very unique one off scheme and knew I had to add it [...]
1/48 F4U-1A Corsair by Tamiya
Done!
Good kit. Old but good by Tamiya.
I got it for about 5 USD with a yellowish decal.
I’ve learnt so much on this build!
First of all, this is my 1st build on a WWII fighter jet/aircraft. I gotta say the weathering progress is [...]
