The Flying Flapjack (Vought XF5U 1/72 Hasegawa)


Recommended Posts

Another from my favourite experiments/prototypes category, built cca 10 years ago. Built OOB, only few details added to cockpit and undercarriage. Fit was not very good, especially around air intakes, prop beams and horizontal tailplanes. Colors used are Tamiya acrylics (Sea Blue) and Agama alcohol based colors. Mahogany on prop blades was done using artist oils.

Lovely build of a unique-looking aircraft.  Bizarre that mainstream manufacturer kitted it, but yours is a great example.

You’re absolutely correct.  A great build.  However, the kit was not tooled by Hasegawa.  It was created by a Tokyo hobby shop called Hobby Spot U and Hasegawa reboxed it.
