Hasegawa 1/48 F4U-5NL Corsair Argentine Naval Aviation.


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Thought that I would share some pics with you all of one of my latest completed models.

Built as part of the ongoing (and excellent) Corsair STGB it is Hasegawa's 1/48 F4U-5NL built as an aircraft operated by the Argentine Navy during their 1963 (unsuccessful) revolt against their government. Still a nice kit to build despite getting on a bit it does have a few issues but nothing drastic. I used an old set of FCM decals and they performed very well indeed and certainly seem to be accurate to the pictures I have seen.

Enough waffle here are the pictures;

Gorgeous,...... I don`t normally go in for Argentine subjects but this is brilliant, you`ve made a stunning Corsair there.

 

I have the Hasegawa boxing with Argentine markings and may did it out after seeing your lovely model,

 

Cheers
