Corsair F4U1a Tamiya 1/48

[captain Frey]

Hi,
Here is my latest build, a 1/48 scale Tamiya F4U1a with a Quinta interior.
Since these photos were taken, I've slightly improved the wheel wells, which were a bit bare.
The decals were given to me by my friend Steph, and I'd like to thank him again here. They're from Fündekals kit number 48024. I tried to match the photos provided with the decal sheet as closely as possible.
The wheels are Eduard Brassin wheels intended for the Magic Factory kit.
I also scratch-built clear lights: position lights, starboard upper wing light, tail light, approach light, and gun camera glazing. I used Gunze and Tamiya paints and varnishes.

Best regards,

Pascal

You should be justifiably proud of this superb build. Well done.

I agree with Rob, it's a real beaut.

Beautifully done! Definitely like the yellow prop hub, it pops!

Hello Pascal,
I know, one more time, I'm in late in my replies regarding the emails. I'll try to send an email this week-end.
But in any case, it's a superb piece of work.
