Hello Folks,
Here are several shots of the
1/48th Otaki F4U-1A Corsair for our club build as she currently sits on
the modeling table. I’m just about ready to start shooting the
tri-color finish. The Otaki Corsair is a basic kit but nicely molded
with recessed panel lines. I’m adding in some after-market parts to
enhance the build. The cockpit has the Yahu instrument panel as well as
parts of the True Details F4U-1A/D cockpit set. I’ve replaced the kit
engine with a more detailed R-2800 from a junked Tamiya Corsair. The
gray primer was applied to check the seams so if problems exist they can
be corrected before the colors are airbrushed. Thanks for
looking…more later as the build progresses.
