Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair, 1/48.
The first of many Tamiya Corsairs I did was this one, built alongside an F4U-1D. I started this back in April last year and completed in just 3 weeks, which is a record for me but that is largely due to having plenty of time off due to [...]
F4U-4 Academy 1/48 "Wrong Carrier Landing"
What happens when you drink too much and land your aircraft on the wrong carrier?
The crew takes you to record what happened, they give you food, and when you return your plane is vandalized with jokes and paint.
I have always wanted to [...]
1/72nd Hawk F4U-1D
A good friend recently gifted me with an old 1/72nd Hawk F4U-1D Corsair kit. Since I had built many of them in my earlier years of modeling (the original kits came out around 1959), I figured I'd go ahead and give it a shot. The kit is [...]
HobbyBoss F4U-4 Corsair, 1/48. A Small Build Review of Sorts.
The Hobbyboss kit is proof that newer isn't necessarily better, but as an old Hasegawa F4U-4 was the first model I built upon returning to the hobby I felt that 3 years later it was time to have a stab at another F4U-4. In fact, I decided [...]
Tamiya F4U-2,1/48. The First Navy Nightfighter.

F4U-4 Corsair – Hasegawa 1/48
Hello! This is a kit I finished around 2006. I remember I used a Verlinden resin and photo-etch detail set for the first time to show one wing folded and the inside of the gun bay on the other wing. I remember doing a lot of cutting and [...]

This is a build that I have wanted to do for many years now. It covers a story that some of you will recognize right away. Some of you may not. Please read along with me and I'll explain. Be warned, some of what I'm going to be telling [...]
Tamiya 1/72 Corsair
Hi everyone! This time I wanted to make another Corsair but with less weathering. I chose the Tamiya 1/72 one. I spent a while building this last Saturday since I had an online speech and debate tournament. At first, they tried making the [...]
