Magic Factory F4U-2 build 1/48

[JohnB]

I decided to come back to this build for a bit and try to sort out the problems I had earlier. I was able to get it together properly so now I can continue with the build. I plan to work on this and the Revell Spitfire simultaneously.

Great to se the Magic factory Corsair back on the bench and underway again. Looking forward to your next update.

So, not quite Tamiya build quality. Glad you took the short break and have come back to it.

Some times you just have to step back and do something else for a bit. Hopefully things will go a bit more smoothly now.

Making good progress on the build now. It's nice when everything fits.

White undersides and Intermediate Blue areas done. Next is the Dark Sea Blue on top.

Looking mighty good and I can't believe you're already onto the color coats.

Thank you Peter. It's going a bit faster than I expected.

Faster then expected doesn't come close. Once you are on a roll, you're supersonic and flying high.

Nice to see you back on this one John. The engineering complexity of this kit is what I was wondering about when I saw the CAD drawings for the first time. Not a Tamiya/Martin friendly kit for sure

Looking good and moving fast as usually .

Cheers

I'm happy to be back on it Martin. I finished painting earlier and am in the process of decaling now. When all that's done I'll attach the gear and other items. I expect to have it finished in a day or two barring unforseen problems.

Done with this build.

For a short time that was a bit "iffy" LOL.
