    Jay, been following this thread and your outstanding build for years now. So much wealth of knowledge and technique you've shared! Thank you!! I wish there were a way we could download this thread and save it off to make a document of this build. If anyone knows how to do that easily, let me know! Again, congratulations on an outstanding build and THANK YOU for sharing it with us!

    Thanks Jay! I'll do my best to 'represent' the mechanism but it won't be nearly as detailed as I'm sure yours will be. I have some photo etch that will suggest the chain. Thanks for the drawing number. I have a few from the manuals but not that one in particular.

    Hello everyone, very small update just to bump this thread Work (day job) has been super busy for the past few weeks but I've been SLOWLY working on the tail section. Surprising amount of detail back there. Working out the tail door actuation mechanism now. Small update but progress is being made. Sorry for the lack of pics, more next time. Progress pics...

    Good to see your progress Jay. Amazing as usual. Your work has convinced me that I need to purchase a lathe in the near future. Just need to learn to use it....

    The opening for the bomb window is in the resin kit I'm using, but yes, it will be covered once the kit is assembled around the cockpit. I would imagine that window was next to useless in the F4U early models.

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone! Having a blast with this build. Jay - Just a WAG. I've seen some color photos of restorations with that color scheme, but they're probably inaccurate. I mainly just wanted to add a little visual interest. From what I've seen of most 'unrestored' cockpits, yours is the more accurate color selection. I've seen them in both silver and black. I'm not aware of any definitive source though.

    Love the detail! Inspiring work John

    Love the research and thought put into this project. The attention to detail is outstanding. Keep up the great work!

    Short update. Working on the back half of the fuselage that will be exposed. Lot more detail to be added, but it's a start.
  27. Jim Cox
    Will do. I use the Parts Catalog on the Aircorps Library a lot, just hadn't notice the numbering you used. I'll try your search method and see what pops up. Yep, I'm going to go ahead and expose the wing tanks in my cutaway version. That will be a nice challenge. Keep up the great work. I'm really enjoying your build.

    Thanks Jay! Where can I find the drawings you reference? Not familiar with those drawing numbers. I believe I read that the wing tanks were deleted early on but I'm not sure how early. I will give mine the wing tanks because I'll enjoy modeling them. I don't know if Dana Bell is on LSP but I know he's on another forum, I can post the question to him as well. It may have been in one of his books that I read that. After a while your head spins trying to track down all the nuances of the early F4U's. Seems like they made a production tweak every week or so (not to mention the field upgrades/enhancements). Here's what I found in the F4U Pilot's Manual:

    Excellent work!

    @JayW - Where did you find the fuel tank info (especially when the wing tanks were deleted)? I'm going to be opening up the wing on my F4U-1A and if there were wing tanks on those versions (at least some of them), I'd love to show them. I haven't found a definitive reference on that. It's VERY possible I have it, but missed it. Love following this build. I love your attention to detail!
