F4U-!D

[Double Tap]

I thought long and hard about what I would build for this and it was a toss up between the 32 F6F-3N or this. Since it is more famous I went this way to quell any doubts about if it were marine enough or not.
Here she is.

I know it says Hobby Craft but it is the correct kit.

I started with the pit.

While I was thinking as hard as I could I came up with an idea that would make a half way decent harness. So I traced one from an unused pe set onto some Tamiya tape and used the pe buckles.

I also got most of the engine done in the four days I spent on it a little at a time.

Every time I build one of these engines I learn something new.

Nice start on the Corsair. The Tamiya tape is a fan favorite for harnesses and belts around here. The cockpit looks the part too. I'll be checking this out.

One of my all time fav WW2 aircraft. The Hobby Craft 1/32 Corsair is actually made by Trumpeter. Great start by the ways!

Love that dusty looking cockpit. Great start to a pretty sweet kit. Don't think I've seen this one before.
