My Corsair - Gilbert Islands


Recommended Posts

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 😏🌞

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!

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.
