#2/2022 After the P-40K, my dad has already finished the next bird in 2022. Revell boxing of the Hasegawa F4U-7 kit, decals from MDC(Model Design Constructions) and the kit, wheels from Reskit, camo done with Gunze H54 Navy Blue mixed with a touch of blue, EZ line for antenna wires and brake lines, scratchbuilt weapon switches on the IB cover, late style K-14 gunsight taken from a Hobbycraft F8F, "T" shaped antenna on the belly from the sparesbox, triangle antenna on the spine done with plastic sheet because the kit´s one was too small, belly whip antennas with plastic rods. The French Corsairs in the Maghreb usually had a bomb rack on the belly too. But didn´t find a good close-up pic to recreate it. Build thread here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235101163-guerre-dalgérie148-vought-au-1-corsair-aviation-navale/ The French navy made some good post WW2 use of the Corsair, AU-1 and F4U-7, using them in Indochina and North Africa. Model shows an aircraft that served with Flotille 17F during the Algerian War from 1954 to 1962 and the Tunisian conflict in July 1961.
