Hi,

Here are a few of my Previous Corsair Builds.

First up the Revell New Tool F4U-1a in 1/72
This kit gets a bit of a hard time as being tricky as its quite modular with insets for the guns and the wingtips are seperate. I found it built up nicely as long as you know what your doing.



Here is the 1/72 Academy F4U-1a in RNZAF markings I built this for a GB here last year..Great kit a bit less detailed than the Revell but with a bit of work a nice result is possible.




Finally here is the 1/72 High Planes F4U-5N in USMC night fighter colours. I built this for a GB somewhere else. Earlier this year. High Planes are a limited run kit so they need a bit more work than normal.

Here is the base kit..



and the finished build



If Accuracy is your thing then It's the best late model Corsair in 1/72.

I like the Corsair it had a long career was fast, rugged and well regarded by its pilots and survived well into the jet age as it was good at what it did.

Cheers
Gadfly

The Corsair is one of my favourite aircraft, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you all come up with. If I had the time I'd have been in with the 1/48th Airfix (Arii) F4U together wuth a QB engine and the Airwaves etched set. Anyhoo, here are some of mine (all 1/72):

Revell new tool F4U-1A



FROG F4U-1D (Corsair Mk IV)



Hobbyboss F4U-4 (Corsair MkV)



Academy F4U-1A (Corsair Mk II)
