Here's my contribution (after almost ending up in the bin!) I'm so glad I decided to try and recover this one. Hope you like her!

 

 

Cheers

Here is my anonymous Tamiya F4U-1D, RNZAF at Ruhakia 1946, abandoned and awaiting final scrapping. 

The harsh climate of strong sun and regular rain has removed most of the paint from the upper fuselage and rotted the fabric away from the tail surfaces. Guns and cockpit instuments have been removed for recycling and reclamation as have the engine and wheels. Sheep now graze around the aircraft keeping the grass short.

I'm pleased with the result having wished to do something like this for a while and finally this GB has given me the opportunity to do something different.

Many thnks to the Mods, esp @Corsairfoxfouruncle for the original idea and to all those making supporting comments along the way.

 

More pictures and the build thread here  Colins' Corsair Build thread.

 

Cheers

Here's my first into the gallery but my no means my last...

 

WiP is here...

 

All the paints are Vallejo or Vallejo Air.  Hairspray weathering.  Rattle can stripes.  Painted rudder.  Xtradecal decals from the "Suez Crisis Pt. 1" set.  This has been fun.  Thanks to the mods and all the support I received for this.  Lots of information and lots of advice.

Thanks for this GB.  It exorcised a few demons from my past regarding this particular aircraft.  Don't ask.  Not worth the effort to explain.  A WiP thread can be found here...All Vallejo and Vallejo Air...OOB except for the decals which are from he excellent Xtradecal FAA/RNZAF/USA set.  The rear section of the canopy is incorrect and, as such, is just sitting there taking up space.  I have the proper piece coming from the UK and will replace it when it arrives.
