Skyraider and F4U Corsair in 1/48

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:

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:

Hope that this helps you out!!

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.

Hi again.

I'm also trying to find bombs and rockets for these two and idea who has the best ones?
F4U Corsair WWII and Korea.
Skyraider Korea and Vietnam.

All the best!
