Im in the mood for WW2 tri-color aircraft and been itcing to build another Corsair. Going for Boyington's F4U-1A. The Tamiya outer wings to center wing has no good area for mounting so i hadd thin stripes of plastic upper and lower to make the wings fit better. Cockpit sprayed with AK real colors interior green. On this build used the quinta studio cockpit set that really adds allot more life to the kit interior

Beautiful work so far. I hate to be negative, but it is reported that Boyington never actually flew that aircraft in your photo, he only sat in it after it was decorated for the press.
 
Nice work indeed. This kit is thoroughly excellent, and was a great reintroduction to the hobby for me, despite its complexity. Everything fits, and the instructions are clear and logical, with only a couple of language barrier hiccups. The only serious problem was that it spoiled me. Other mfrs' kits just don't measure up to Tamiya's.
Thanks for posting. Please post more!
