JohnB Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Another Tamiya Corsair for the collection. VMF-351 off of USS Cape Glouchester escort carrier at Okinawa 1945. After market items are Barracudacast wheels and cockpit details. The FF51 decals are MicroScale and the one kill marking is from my decal stash. All the other decals are from the kit. Painted with MM GSB with a over spray with Alclad semi-flat. Quite a enjoyable build as are all the Tamiya Corsair kits! I hope y'all like the results of my efforts. 14

GazzaS Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Very well done, John. Gonna need your own carrier, soon. Better build more USMC stuff. They're happy with a little chunk of coral. 2 1

Carrier based didn't have that problem. 2
