1/48th Tamiya F4U-1A 'Sally'
Years back, I read an article in Air Classics telling the story of 'Sally'. That Corsair was a salvage job constructed from the remains of several Corsair hulks from the boneyard by mechanics of Marine Service Squadron Eleven out in the [...]
1/48th Hasegawa F4U-5 In The Markings Of VF-44 In 1949
I just finished this Corsair yesterday. It's the 1/48th Hasegawa F4U-5 done in the 1949-era markings of VF-44. The kit is very well engineered with the exception of the fitment of the cowling where it joins with the fuselage. The cowling [...]

1/48 Tamiya F4U-1
I was e-mailing these pics to a friend who just purchased the kit and thought I'd share them here as well. I built this one way back when it came out. Aeromaster enamel paints and Superscale decals finished her up. Not much else to [...]

1/48th Tamiya F4U-1A

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. [...]
ALMOST as good as the 32nd scale Tamiya Corsair…… The 72nd scale Tamiya Corsair

This is my latest 72nd scale Corsair, Number 3, [...]
Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1 “Birdcage” Corsair

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 [...]
