Hey FSM,
Here's another ol' Revellogram I wrapped up for a Revellogram Group Build on another site. I really enjoyed this kit. Low parts count, good fit, and decent detail. I rescribed the plastic and pretty much built it out of the box. I used some twisted fine wire to replicate the rope ejection pull handles, some drilled-out plastic rod for the gun barrels, and some tape for some simple seatbelts. Besides that, I used Eagle Strike decals for the markings. The kit was painted using MM enamels and Alclad lacquers. I would definitely love to build another one of these little kits. I think the next one might be a NMF Panther.
Enjoy the photos!
Thanks for looking. Feel free to share your comments, questions, and criticisms. Here's to mashing plastic in '19!
Happy Holidays FSM!

I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
That is a sweet lookin' little jet!
Really nice build, oortiz. The paint is very well done. I have this same kit but I haven't figured how I want to build it yet.
OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

Thanks for the kind words FSM. I added a photo to my original post of my Panther with a 1/48 Hasegawa F4U-4 I built in VMFT-20 colors.
Again, I appreciate the compliments. Thanks for looking!
I agree with all the positive comments. I also really like the livery of both the Panther and the Corsair.
Question: What years was that F4U-4 active?

That's a very nice build. Always thought the Panther was a nice looking aircraft, and you did it justice there

Super job. The Monogram kit is the only -5 in 1/48 and it is a decent kit.
Excellent pairing, the Corsair and the Panther. Well done.
1943Mike I agree with all the positive comments. I also really like the livery of both the Panther and the Corsair. Question: What years was that F4U-4 active?
The F4U-4 entered service in 1945. They were assigned to squadrons that summer. They stayed around at least into the Korean War in Navy & Marine Corps squadrons. The served alongside the F4U-5 and AU-1 versions in Korea.
O, that is one fantastic build of the Monogram Panther! Flawless work!
