noelh Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Nice neat build of one of my favourite planes. Those old Arii/Otaki kits come out well. I have the F4u in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris FFZ Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Nice neat build of one of my favourite planes. Those old Arii/Otaki kits come out well. I have the F4u in progress. I have a Corsair on tap also. i love the otaki line, still hold up 40 years after they were designed. Looks great especially the satin black/very dark navy blue....Just had a quick look in an F6F book i have and she was flown by Cdr James H Flatley... Thanks for that information! Jimmy flatley was one of the famous naval aviators of WWII, nice to know this plane is a tribute to him. it happens. that is why sometimes you have to do something to draw attention....
