Spence Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi everyone!Well after three weeks of work, Tamiya's incredible 1/32 F4U-1 Corsair is finally done. Nothing in my working life matches the tension and eventual adrenalin rush of completing a huge project like this and though smaller models can be equally exciting, having this thing in front of me after the thick end of 100 hours work - almost 2/3s of that, painting and weathering - is a really satisfying feeling. I hope you like it! The full review will be in the September issue of TMMI, on sale August 15th.Spence 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCinLA Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Beautiful - it's damn hard to get a Solomons Corsair too "mucked about" and you have gotten just the right look. A definite goal for which to aim with mine when it gets here next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
