Here's my completed entry, it's Academy's F4U-1(A) kit with Skymodels decals, painted with Vallejo Model Air paints. Apparently it served with a number of units between 1944-45 in the Solomans area, so I can't say which Sqd or Pilot's name is related to it, other than it's a RNZAF aircraft!

thanks

1/48th Hobbyboss kit as a Fleet Air Arm Corsair, 1836 NAS, HMS Victorious, 1944,.....some modifications include scratch built air vents for the rear fuselage, drop tank from the spares box, harness from the same location, wing fold parts, wheels and exhausts reclaimed from an old Tamiya Corsair, Fundelkal decals, Here is the WIP; http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234997397-148th-hobbyboss-kit-as-a-fleet-air-arm-corsair-1836-nas-hms-victorious-1944-finished/ And here is the model;

The kit itself isn`t a patch on the cheaper Tamiya one and requires a lot of extra work, so I won`t be building another!!

Cheers

Caawww, but there're some nice builds in this lot. here is my effort fwiw.

The Frogfix Corsair, finished in some recent Ventura decals which were a treat to use & a stunning colour scheme. Build thread here.
Rather than being the overly faded RNZAF roundels that too many kits/sheets include, this is a home based aircraft with roundels painted in local paints that were paler to begin with than the Insignia Blue used in the islands & much more prone to fading apparently. My photographs make them look a little brighter than they are.
