Yet another Corsair, this one inspired by VMF 214 Greg "Papy" Boyington. 

I chose the 1/32 Trumpeter F4U-1 and converted to an F4U-1A.

This was pretty much a straight forward build with the exception of the window under the fuselage, the exposed engine and fuel tank compartments and some aftermarket resin used for the wheels and cowling. 

The paints are all Model Master Enamels, wire is used for the antenna. 

The instrument panel is I believe the planes, while I rework the levers and pedal wires viewed through the bottom fuselage window.
