Daywalker Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Finished this one back in March, unfortunately my camera died halfway through the photo shoot! I had to finish taking photos with my cellphone, which is not ideal for close up photography. These are the best shots I have of it, hope you find them interesting. It is VF-17's Tom Killefer's #5, with decals from Kagero and Fundekals and painted "5"'s. The Kagero book had the number 5's on the decal sheet, and I ruined the first one I put on so had to draw out a 5 and cut them out myself. Painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with oils. A lot of the subtle weathering is lost in the photo, sure a better camera could pick it up. Enjoy! Frank 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Thank you fellas, I really enjoy these Tamiya Corsairs. After the last two builds (F4U-1 and F4U-1A) I think I will try something different and build the F4U-1D. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Great looking Corsair Frank! I almost bought another one today (Hobbysearch has the -1D kit on sale for $80) but I figured I should build the ones already in the stash.

DocRob Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Beautiful Corsair, Frank. Nice job on painting and weathering. Those US Navy birds are a great canvas for deploying new techniques, magnifique. Cheers Rob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
