An Anticipated build for 2020.

[Totalize]

Guys,

Here's one build I really want to do in 2020. It's Hampton "Hammy" Grey's F4U-1D Corsair he flew off the HMS Formidable. He won the VC for sinking a Japanese escort vessel in the closing days of the war. A fellow modeler by the name of Nick from South Carolina was gracious enough to offer the decal set from the Kagero book "fighters over Japan Part II" that has his aircraft in 1/32. I plan to use the Tamiya 1/32 Corsair. Since there is some controversy on what actual Corsair he flew I plan to build it as the Vintage Wings of Canada Corsair.

Very cool Dave. Some good info on this site about his plane. Last guy to try to build a proper version of his Corsair was, I think, Karl (Rochie).

Thanks Karl,

Very nice work there. I didn't read through all the comments but are those decals from the aeromaster set?
Again very well done.

Here's a profile from the Kagero book. I still need to get the Tamiya kit. It's pricey at $160 so I will have to save my schekels.

yes i read a few things from people who claim 115 either wasnt the aircraft or it was coded 1 roundel then 15 but the majority of opinion goes with whats shown in that profile and vintage wings of Canada so that was good enough for me

Didn't VWOC sell their Corsair?
