Trumpeter 1/32 scale F4U-1D Corsair

Came out great...is the front checker a decal or did you paint it? Either way you did the old war bird some justice.

Corsair looks great, my absolute favorite aircraft.  I've got 2 1/32 F4U-1D's and a F4U -4 waiting to be built.

Where did you get the aftermarket wheels & what brand are they? I was thinking I would have to cast my own until you mentioned they were aftermarket.

Looks fantastic, like she sat in the Pacific sun for days... weeks.... months... well you know.

Did you get some Dullcoat on the canopy and windscreen?  Operational aircraft didn't have crystal-clear canopies, but they weren't quite that dirty either... Unless that's representing the fogging from condensation of the early morning dew on Vella LaVella or something....

Overall though, nice Corsair...

I was afraid of commenting because I don't want to be misinterpreted, but I had the same observation as Hans as soon as I saw the pictures. Love the build, but for my taste, the windshield is too foggy unless that's what you wanted to convey. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the comments guys I got the wheels from Lone Star Models (LSM 30191 F4U diamond pattern)

they are only $8.00. I don't know what happened to the canopy it has just fogged up over the years.

Oh, ok.. Didn't know it wasn't a recent build...
