Category : Somewhere lost in the middle
Entry : F4U-1D Corsair U.S. Naval Air Station Livermore Ca. (LVK) 1950"s
Kit : 1/48 Tamiya with towmotor
Accessories : Cockpit kit, Gun bay, control surfaces, engine, custom decals, prob some scratch built,
otherwise straight out of the box.
I lived in Livermore in the 70's to 90's and was aware the Livermore National Lab facility was a flight training center during WWII, but did not realize F4U's were still using the field into the 50's. I found the picture of the FG-1D on the internet. This is my GB project, to build this Corsair. The lettering I believe, if the Hasegawa 1/72 kit is true in color, was yelow gold. I will have to jump thru hoops, again, to get these as decals for this bird.
So attached is my rendition of one of the NAS LIVERMORE FG1-D Corsairs. Thanks for looking in, and all of you who have kept track of this GB project. I've done a bit of a stretch of my capabilities on this one. I have to thank everyone who submits to this forum, I've taken on board more than I could have imagined. Each and everyone who contributes here should be applauded. Thanks to all.
*At Vics request I changed pictures to 800 pixels wide.
