Pedro1 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Time to post some images of my first ever Tamiya kit, as my usual diet consists of Czech short run kits or conversions of bombers into something more civil. I used an Eduard Zoom set for the interior and a CMK set for the dropped flaps. The kit decals are nice, but as I wanted to depict a late war F4U-1D from the USS Cape Gloucester, I used a sheet from Barracudacals. I hope you like it.

Kitchen Modeller Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Very nice - scheme is very cool - what did you use for the rigging? Looking to start using rigging on my 1/72 aircraft.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro1 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 I used Ushi van der Rosten elastic thread for the antennae. Biggest advantage is that it doesn't snap if you accidentally touch the wires when packing or unpacking the model at a model show. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
