JohnB Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 I've been working on this Tamiya F4U-1A off and on for nearly a year. Just something to keep occupied with when things lag. Now I think I'll go on and build it on up. As you can see, I used the very nice Quinta interior. Certainly adds a lot to the look! Stay tuned! 5 1 4
Peterpools Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 John I should have guess and glad you're back building another Tamiya Corsair - let me guess, your favorite aircraft of the Second World War and your favorite model as well. Front office looks perfect and I just love the Quinta 3D cockpit decals. Of course, the burning question: wings folded or extended? 5

At this point I'm undecided on the wings but most likely extended (but we will see!) LOL 5
Peterpools Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 John After all the work you did on the Trumpy Corsair to fold the wings, extended wings would be my guess. 3

Could be Peter but the Tamiya wings have no problems extended (at least I've never had any, fingers crossed). 😄 4
BlrwestSiR Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Always nice to have a "go-to" kit to build when you want something straightforward. So the bigger question is, USN, USMC, FAA or RNZAF? Carl 5

JohnB Posted August 30, 2022 Author Posted August 30, 2022 A little more progress on the cockpit. 8 1

JohnB Posted September 2, 2022 Author Posted September 2, 2022 Making some good progress. So enjoyable that everything fits! 4 1
Peterpools Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 John Nice progress on your Big Corsair and the front office is looking even better then the last pic. 3

Peterpools Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Agreed. So far, the best duplicate builds I've done: Tamiya P-51 Mustangs: 3 with two more in the stash Tamiya Spitfires: 3 with two more in the stash. 3
ScottsGT Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 I always thought my favorites were the Phantoms. Almost picked one out of the stash yesterday instead of the Texan. But looking back at my record I’ve built 8 F-16’s and have something like 7 or 8 more in the stash. Only built 3 Phantoms so far. Watching this one closely. I love the two tone interior green. I’ve got one Tamiya Corsair in the stash. 4
