**** FINISHED: 1/48th F4U-1D Corsair - Pacific Theatre of Operations II

[dneid]

Username: dneid
First Name: Dale
Category: Intermediate
Scale, 1/48
Manufacturer: Tamiya
Type: F4U-1D
Aftermarket: Aries cockpit and engine resin detail, Aries resin main wheel bay. Not sure if I will use all of the resin details yet. I wanted to try resin versus PE and I thought this would be a good time to try.

Well, the Corsair is wrapped up. I did go back and add the rocket pylons in. The damned aerial wire tested my patience, but I did get it done. Got the photos taken and then my clumsy thumb popped the aerial off the forward mast. I'll get that replaced tomorrow. I did go back and add a tad more wear on the left wing based on Wojtek's pictures of Delong's bird he posted.
