Chance Vought F4U Corsair

Hasegawa 1/48 P-40K-1

F4U-1a Corsair: VF-17 - 1/48 Tamiya

This is the Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1a Corsair – an older build of mine when I first tried out Lifecolor Acrylics. These went on very smoothly but tended to clog the airbrush until I got them thinned correctly. The color differentiation [...]

Hello everyone, after observing the models on this site for a while, I found the courage to publish this creation that was commissioned to me and for which I confess that I "stole" ideas from this site too . The subject is among [...]
