RidgeRunner Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Excellent, Fuad. I have the Tamiya F4U-1D and the flaps resin set in my pile, ready for building up as a Salvadorean machine. Yours is great! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Most excellent! I have the birdcage version of this kit near the top of my "to build" pile. If mine turns out half as nice as yours, I'll be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Pete Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Nice. That one was working is the tropics, eh? Faded and sun-bleached. Nice to see a Corsair in something other than navy blue... I didn't have the imagination when I built mine! (A bloke at my RC flying club has a beautiful 1/6 Corsair with scale retracts the go back and rotate instead of the Spitfire-esque fold out system they usually use... an engineering nightmare. The poor thing hardly ever flies, though, it's always on its back while he tinkers with the undercarriage trying to get it to work!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc72 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Beautiful dust. And the flaps add considerable to the looks of the Corsair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zegeye Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) Beautifull Fuad, what technic did you use to simmulate the salt marks? And it will be great to know what is from Eduard and what from Aires 😉 Edited October 19, 2018 by zegeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis, Found this the other day, and your post reminded me of it- pretty interesting, don't you think? The discussion is also enlightening. If they could drain Lake Michigan, think of all the USN aircraft that could be recovered and restored- must be hundreds down there!

72modeler Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Fuad, What can I say? What an incredible build! Put that puppy in front of a Pacific airstrip background picture and do it in b&w and you could not tell your model from a real Corsair! It is so hard to do an extremely weathered model in 1/72 scale, but you have obviously mastered the skill! BTW, your Corsair is and F4U-1D, right? I thought that the step in the RH inboard flap wasn't introduced until the late production Goodyear-built FG-1D's. I am probably misinformed but maybe @Tailspin Turtle or @Dana Bell can correct me. I remember having to fill it when I did my 1/72 Hasegawa birdcage F4U-1. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airport. Which im proud to say i’ve helped on in a very small way (part of a museum staff in a different lifetime). They’ve used some of the wrecks for static restorations, others have been used to make new dies. Have you been to the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo Michagan ? Theres a 1/72 model of the U.S.S. Wolverine there. Impressive to say the least. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having to fill it when I did my 1/72 Hasegawa birdcage F4U-1. Mike According to Dana Bell, who can be relied on for accuracy, the step was added to the right inboard flap toward the end of both F4U-1D production (BuNo 82527) and FG-1D production (BuNo 87872). It was originally fitted with a flush fold-in cover but this was subsequently removed after the war. Of course, earlier Corsairs might have been fitted with a replacement flap with a step at some point and the cover might have been removed before a formal order was issued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
