1/48 Tamiya F-4U-1D

--------------------

 

This is my second F4U-1D Corsair that I have built from Tamiya.  This one I built straight out of the box due the fact I was going to use this one all with other ones I plan on buying to build a display of Gregg Boyington in Pacific but tri-color didn’t come out right. I used the Model Master Flat Sea Blue FS35042 for the overall, Interior Green for the cockpit, wheel wells, engine cowling, and the folded wing area.  I wish Tamiya would come out with an F4U-4 or 5N instead of Hasegawa or Academy.  Overall I love building this kit and I will continue to build my display of the Boyington’s airfield.
