Tamiya 1:32 Scale Vought F4U-1 Corsair Build

To my fellow forum members,

First off, thank you members for following my threads, especially from a beginner like myself.  It motivates me to complete a project.  Second, I've learned so much from everyone, I have been reviewing most if not all FSM members aircraft builds and threads.  

As you know, my P-51D build is now complete.  There were times that I would become frustrated with my mistakes, yet thanks to FSM I now know how to understand on how to redo and correct my builds.  Although difficult, I can hear my father telling me to; "Do it right the first time and you can easily move onto the next step".  The only difference now is that my next step is a new model kit.

In the mid '70s there was a TV war drama based on VMF-214.  I followed the show like a zealot, that's when I fell in love with the F4U-Corsair.  I've been a fan of the Corsair for 40 years.  I recall that I've built a reproduction of Major Boyington's "Lulubelle/Lucybelle".  If my memory serves me right, I believe it was a Revell product, I also know of another build that I fondly enjoyed as a youth was a F4U-Corsair product from Monogram.  

Now in the present, I will be assembling a Tamiya 1/32 Corsair.  This Corsair makes me very nostalgic at best.  On this F4U, I will attempt to enhance the panel lines and possibly some type of mixed paint, for the airbrush.  Maybe even a small amount of weathering as well.  So here goes my post on my number one favorite aircraft of all time, F4U-1 Corsair.
