F4U-1D "Grand Slam"

It's time for another Tamiya Corsair build. This will be my subject. I plan to use a Quinta cockpit set on this one. Stay tuned!

Excellent choice John, this one is well documented. Will follow with interest.

Here's another pic Martin.

Nice, it almost looks like the number 12 has a black stripe on the top of the cowling.

I was making some good progress on the build until I managed to bugger up the Quinta instrument panel 🤪. Ordered a replacement Quinta set from SB on 3/23 but it hasn't showed up yet. Until it does I'll work on other areas. I plan to fold the wings so I guess that's what I'll work on for a bit.

Beautiful, I like the light weathering in the cockpit. Nicely done

Thanks Martin. I'm beginning to wonder just WHEN the replacement Quinta set will show up. PO tracking shows it hasn't been shipped yet but SB shows it HAS shipped. Go figure!

Now it says delivering Monday 31st. Fingers crossed.
