1/48th Tamiya F4U-1D as Vought XF4U-3B
Here's my latest model completion. It's the 1/48th Tamiya F4U-1D kit converted to an XF4U-3B. That version was an attempt by Vought to boost the Corsair's top speed by way of a supercharged engine. The plane never went into production as [...]

From time to time, when a picture grabs my attention, I often consider attempting to model it. This was the case with the F4U-5 that I wanted to replicate. The Monogram version of the Hasegawa F4U-5 kit was good to work with for the most [...]
