TKS gorbygould! It is a VERY basic kit (1970) & the fit, around the wing roots, is poor to say the least 🙁 but I'm trying to scrub her up the best I can. In the future I will get the Tamiya kit 🙂 But hey, what can you expect for £15?!

For various reasons this ended up on the shelf of doom. So I dusted her off, sanded off the terrible grainy paintwork & re-painted her. Applied a gloss coat, so now she is ready for decals.

Hey Dave, Nice work! Also called whistling death by the Japanese due to the sound it makes as it attacked them. One of my favorite planes due to the tv series Black sheep squadron! I did mine after the pilot Pappy Boyington. Think the last name is correct. LOL

Album info

The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Demand for the aircraft soon overwhelmed Vought's manufacturing capability, resulting in production by Goodyear and Brewster: Goodyear-built Corsairs were designated FG and Brewster-built aircraft F3A. From the first prototype delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940, to final delivery in 1953 to the French, 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured, in 16 separate models, in the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in U.S. history (1942–53).

The Corsair was designed as a carrier-based aircraft but its difficult carrier landing performance rendered it unsuitable for Navy use until the carrier landing issues were overcome by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. The Corsair thus came to and retained prominence in its area of greatest deployment: land based use by the U.S. Marines. The role of the dominant U.S. carrier based fighter in the second part of the war was thus filled by the Grumman F6F
