1/32 Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair VMF-214 "Pappy" (FINISHED)

Joe, 

First and foremost I would like to thank you for all the contributions that you have made to this forum.  With me being a noob to the hobby your posts on various builds (P-51, P-47M) and techniques (painting cockpits, wiring a radial engine) have helped me immensely and there is no doubt my builds have benefitted greatly because of it...  The fact that you take time out of your day to help someone like me is greatly appreciated.  

Cheers!

DANG Joe!!!! That is..well I don't have words. I could not top what others have said.

Just click my heels and say. I will be that good one day. I will be that good one day. I will be that.......

Hi,

Your build looks great.  I saw your comments on the weakness of the folding wing in the model and it reminded me of a 1/32 Revell Coarsair that I built when I was younger.  On that model the wing fold was very week (though it may have been inpart due to my limited building skills at the time).  For it I just left the wings permanently folded up, so that it would take up less space on my shelf, since it was such a big model.

Simply fantabulous. Great work as usual.

That thing is so realistic and detailed, that I can smell the tobacco to go along with Pappy's cigarette burns on the seat cushion.

Good gosh, Joe....

You done outdid yourself. Splendid Corsair.

Wow just WOW

Wow LawDog;

I guess "Magnificent" is the word of the day. Truly a magnificent Corsair.
