ringo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Here is my new build Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair, VMF-111, No. 122, Gilbert Islands, september 1944... Was the fourth plane i made but recently added a bit more weathering. Was a nice machine to build, only had some problems to let the two parts wing fit but was mainly my beginners fault and not the kit... Sorry for the last picture, there was a bit to much sun at that moment 😏🌞 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 So, would I be correct in assuming that is a 1/72 scale kit? Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I was wondering the same, as I was thinking it was either the 1/48 kit, or he went the extra mile and dropped the flaps, which is not an option on the 1/72 kit. Either way, it's a very nice Corsair! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 @dogsbody @72modeler I‘d say it‘s 1/48 because the flaps look as from the kit (?). Interesting model anyway. It got the bottom window from the early F4U-1, the bomb pylon from the -1A and the step in the flap from the -1D. Very nicely finished, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
