Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1A Jim Sullivan memorial group build
Had a lot of fun with this one. Tried new things like using pastels on an aircraft fuselage for weathering, I had done exhausts just not the whole airframe before, cut out wing tip lenses and used clear sprue for new ones. I found the [...]
F4U-1D - Corsair - VF84
Dear Modellers,
Here is my version of the 1/32 Corsair F4U-1D. It took me 10 months to build it. I spent a lot of time building the cockpit and engine. I used this time a lot of products from ANYZ and the belts are from HGW models. I used [...]
Tamiya Vought F4U-1A Corsair 1/48 scale.

Here’s my third Corsair of the year, the Tamiya 1/72 F4U-1D. [...]
Interesting national insignia on Marine Corsairs
So as I work on my Richard Petty '73 Charger (more on that later!) I am researching my next build, Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1A Corsair. I figured I'd do a Marine bird, so I started looking at pictures and stumbled across some birds with no [...]
Tamiya Corsair
