mungo1974 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Hi folks, I'd like to enter this GB with Tamiya's F4U-1A in 1/48 I may throw alittle Ultracast resin aftermarket at it. My subject will be a FG-1A of ABG-2 in 1945 Hope to make a start this weekend :woot.gif:/> Gary Edited March 28, 2013 by mungo1974 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 This is the model that got me back in the hobby a few years ago - nice pick! The only issues I had were the wing joins - I think mine were a little warped. The next time I do this one, I am going to not follow the directions by gluing the wing tops together, reinforcing the join, and doing the same with the wing bottoms. Actually, the HB one does the same thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Where's that picture taken? Good chance that's Akron right up the rd from where I grew up. Looks similar at least but hard to tell really with no landmarks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mungo1974 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Hi Hamm, I have no idea where the pic was taken,info provided states that the FG-1A was taking part in a Trans-Con speed record attempt in 1945. A quick Google search on ABG-2 indicates they were west coast based unit. Nothing to report model wise,Got up stupid early UK time to watch the F1 and have been to busy with other stuff to get to the model bench. Plus side only a 3 day working week coming up so i'll crack on then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 At least it was a heck of an entertaining F1 race. Lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
