This is a 1/32 scale
Revell F4U-1A kit, which I converted to a F2G racer. I had one
drawing and a few photos.......that's it. I started my conversion in 1984
and finished the model in 1986. I did not know any thing about scratch
building, nor carving out a windscreen/canopy mold, let alone how to "vac-u-form."
( VAC-U-FORM -WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?).

The model took a
first place award at the 1987 Washington, D.C. IPMS/USA contest. I sold
the model the next year for several thousand dollars. Please check out my
full story on: ( www.skywrites.net
