This model is the Hobbyboss “Easy Model” 1/72 F4U-4 Corsair.  I used some PE parts from the Eduard in the cockpit, racks in scratch resin copies, underside parts and tank racks are from the Italeri kit.  The loop antenna is resin, correction in wing flaps and wing surface (in Honduran Corsair photos the “corrugated surfaces” are not visible) and improvements in engine.

Paint was automotive paint (Gray color) and Gunze acrilyc paint (black, white and blue colors., decals of the Aztec decals.

I decided on this model because the Italeri canopy shape is totally wrong for the –4 version and in this model (Hobbyboss) is correct!

Bye!
