Here’s my version of Tamiya’s 1:48 Vought F4U-1A Corsair.

Aftermarket:
HGW wet transfer (highly recommended)
Montex glazing and insignia masks
Ultracast seat & harness
Quickboost engine
Brengun wheels

Paints used:
502 Abteilung oils
Akan
mig
Mr Color
MRP
Tamiya
vallejo

I wanted to try multi-layer chipping and to portray both zinc chromate and salmon pink primer, I’m reasonably sure that salmon pink primer would have ceased being used before this version of F4U?

Here are the photos…

Nice build! I had no idea about the salmon primer, very cool looking.

Not bad! Not bad at all!

I'm tall for my height as well. 6' 8", roughly 2 meters

Beautiful Corsair :thumb1: :thumb2: , the 3 colors scheme is really nice and more rare than the dark blue in plastic kits.
