Hi folks,
here’s my latest. I think its my fifth Tamiya corsair now and I still think they’re great. Many of you will have seen this particular aircraft before it’s certainly one of the more popular corsair MkIII’s. JS479 was with 718 Sqn at Ballyhalbert in Northern Ireland. I used Maketar Masks for all the roundels and codes. Sky decals provided the serial. Sprayed with Hatakas late US Navy colours.
Mods to the kit include:
Flaps up
Tie-down added to tailwheel
Release lever on to canopy
Ignition harness
Clear plasticard used for three camera ports
Ventral and side CO vents
Clipped wings
Wingtip Lights from clear sprue
Fuel caps filled and placed inboard to correct position
Underwing fuel vents
Brake lines to main undercarriage
Fairings on tailwheel doors deleted.
Thanks for looking!
Nick
