1/48 Tamiya F4U-1 Corsair

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

 

Here are some pics of my F4U-1 Corsair.  I started this as a conversion from the birdcage Tamiya 1/48th kit a few years back before they issued the -1D kit. The engine has been wired, the windscreen is Squadron vac, the Wheels are True Details and the seatbelts/buckles are scratchbuilt as are the gun switch boxes above the instrument panel  and the throttle handles.

Blue marking lights, landing light, and ID lights are all MV lenses. Paints are Model Master, modified to my standards. Decals are from Eagle Strike, depicting one of Boyington's birds.
