1/48 Minicraft F4U-4B VMF-323 Korea
This F4U-4B has all the same modifications as my other F4U-4B here on Imodeler, except that the wings are not folded, and I have used a flap set from the Verlinden F4U-4 detail set for the Hasegawa kit.
The weapons are 1000 lb bombs from [...]
1/48 Minicraft F4U-4B VMF-214 Korea
I built one of my Minicraft 1/48 F4U-4B kits with Tamiya 1/48 F4U wing fold hinge parts.
I made resin copies of Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1 oil cooler inlets, then cut out 3 of the vanes to modify them to match F4U-4 inlets. They have a much better [...]
straight wing fictional F4U

My dear son, 3 years old, is big fan of the movie "Planes", so I have seen it a couple of hundreds of times. When I proposed my kid to build a "Skipper Riley" F4U he jumped of joy, so it had to be done.
As always, I [...]

Another recently completed build. 1/32 Tamiya F4U-1 birdcage built OOB with Eagle Edition decals. I entered it in the annual Sproo-Do model contest and show and it took a gold and Best Box Stock.
F4U-1D Corsair & Moto Tug.
This is the Tamiya 1/48th F4U-1D Corsair which came with a motor tug.
I used the kit decals, and painted the model with Aeromaster Acrylics.
The base is made of Perspex, which I painted black from below. After engraving the base, I filled [...]
A Corsair for Bob
This is a project i'd been working on for about a year and a half. Many of you out there are already aware of the backstory behind this and i can't promise that there will be any value added by repeating it here, but you never know.

Navy Ace Guy Bordelon, VC-3 Korea, Minicraft F4U-5N Corsair
This is something that I have been wanting to do for a long time now...each year passes and I would miss it, so here goes.
