VG 33 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hello Here is my last build and unusually this one is a 1/48 kit. I built this tamiya F4U-1 for a friend of mine who wanted one of Greg Boyington's aircraft in the Pacific. I chose #883 in December 1943. The decals came from a fündekals 1/48 Corsairs USMC Decal Set. Patrick 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Wow, that's lovely, Patrick! I like how the blues are more faded; not so contrasty and i see you depicted one of the more nonstandard antenna installations. -d- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_Ukraine Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 She is perfect, Patrick! Very convincing painting and weathering job! And I'd rather call her whistling beauty than whistling death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Hello Thank you very much, but I have already given the kit to my friend. Here is a picture I took when I was painting with many layers of different shades of blue (base colour and increased part of white). The brown is dark earth.

Yes I have seen this antenna installation on #735 and actually the short wing mast should have been put closer to the Pitot. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
