Pretty much OOB other than the white metal parts. The kit comes with decals for 3 different planes, I'm going to model VBF-6, No.2, of the USS Hancock (CV-19), circa march 1945

As the kit came supplied with a 'moto-tug', and time permitting, and finding time for anything of late has been a real ask for me, I also have these
kits. I'm going to have a bash at building it into a diorama

Nice one Peter and another Corsair, why not, the more the merrier and I like the diorama idea.
