For my first submission to ARC I'd like to share some photos of my 1/48 F4 U-1D Corsair.  I decided to enhance the detail on my Corsair with the following sets;  Aires Complete Detail Kit for engine - wheel bay -cockpit - gun bay and I did the detail painting in these areas with Vallejo color.

I separated the elevators and trim tabs from the tail-plane and repositioned for a less static pose.

For markings I decided to not use decals.  Instead I created painting masks and used my airbrush and coloured powder for shading and weathering.
