Trump Vought F4U-1D vs Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair

[TonyDrake]

OK - want an excuse to build this - I have a hellcat (trump) and 2xTamy corsairs (all already on show here), but this is stinking up my stash...

 

I want to build it 'in flight' mode using the 'blur blades' and using the Tamiya pilot and stand. That way I don't need to worry too much about the cockpit, and tires... ;-)

 

Also experimenting for the first time with paining masks from Montex - this is my first GB or Build on LSP - so be kind ;-)

I have the Trumpeter F4U-4 to work on over the summer. I'm newish to modelling and have never built a Corsair so I'll keep an eye on this one.

I've got one of those in the stash, so will be interested to see how you get on with it.

Looks like fun Tony 

 

Hi intheway 

[TonyDrake]

Just got this from someone's 'thinning stash' craziness (why would anyone do that) - for about 1/3 price...  Box a bit worse for wear, but content is perfect - Might got the the tri color and some basic weathering... as a parallel build... (which is what I've done in the past and enjoyed a lot)...

btw, how do I edit the title?

Nice score!

Comparatively, the Tamiya F4U is to the Trumpeter F4U, what a Chevrolet Chevette is to a Bugatti Veyron.
