Here is my first completion for
2010. Tamiya 1/48th F4U-1 Corsair with scratch built seatbelts/buckles and brake
lines. The engine is wired. Retracted flaps are from Ultra Cast. MV lenses were
used for all lights except white light on spine and the wingtip navigation
lights, which are painted Tamiya clear colors over a silver base. The main
colors are Model Master Enamels, Blue/;Gray over Medium Sea Gray.

Weathering was accomplished by varying
intensity of colors while air brushing, lead pencil for panel lines, and
eye shadow make up for fading, exhaust and gun smoke stains. National
markings are from Yellow Wings decals, while "15"s are Woodland
Scenics rub ons. Wing no step lines are also Woodland Scenics rub ons.
Wing walks are painted.
Airplane name, "Daphne C",
was hand painted, trying to match the rough painted style of the original.
Airplane was flown by USMC Lt James Cupp, Solomon Islands, 1943.
