Skyraider and F4U Corsair in 1/48
Posted by Janswede on Saturday, September 20, 2003 4:22 AM
Hi folks!

My name is Jan and I'm a Swede who needs some help.
I want to build the Skyraider and the F4U Corsair in 1/48, but I'm not sure what to use to superdetail them.
Is Aires Skyraider cockpit the best one?
Which one sould I use for the Corsair?
I also know that Cutting Edge (I think) has folding wings for the Skyraider, is there any for the Corsair?
How about bombs and rockets, gun bays etc. etc?

All the best!
Big Smile [:D]

Hey, I'm not too sure about the Corsair, but I've been in a Skyraider-building mood lately as well. For weapons, I've found that the Tamiya 1/48 kit comes with most of the typical loads carried by the Spad. Also, I frequently use the Hasegawa weapons sets. Check the internet for reference photos--there's some great pictures out there of typical weapon's loads for Vietnam Skyraiders.

Hope that helped.

Janswede,

Engines & Things in Canada make excellent resin engines for the models that you're building. They seem to make a model for just about any aircraft engine that's ever been produced, including jets. Their website is:

www.telusplanet.net/public/engthg

I've bought a few engine kits from them, and have been pleased with what they make. Their prices are very reasonable (usually $7 - $10 for most engines), and they have a reasonably quick turn-around time.

If the URL doesn't work, their address is:

Engines & Things
Post Office Box 48013
St. Albert, Alberta, Canada T8N 5V9
780-458-6782
780-459-9069 FAX

Hope that this helps you out!!
