Tamiya 1/32 F4U1-D completed

[JohnB]

Another Corsair in the books. Those Tamiya kits are enjoyable builds. Great subjects, great fit and nicely detailed. I wish they'd add to their 1/32 line. Painted with Model Master Dark Sea Blue. Decals, except for the national insignias, are from my decal stash. This a/c was from VMF-323 on Okinawa. I hope you like the results of my efforts. 🙂

Thanks Chris! I'm pretty well pleased with this one although it did have it's "moments" (especially getting the outer wings attached satisfactorily). 🙄
