Flag79 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hallo. This is not only my first Group Build, but also my first attempt in managing a topic... I hope that everything will be fine! The kit I chose is the Tamiya F4U-1D. A picture of the box and the trees: In the cockpit, I added some seat belts from Eduard I tried to enhance the engine adding some cables Today I glued the fuselage and wings halves. It's time for putty and sanding... (fit is almost perfect, it will not take a long time). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flag79 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 I forgot to say that I also use some Airscale Decals for instrument dials Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 That is probably the best OOB cockpit I have ever seen! Really well done! I love those Airscale decals (I tried to get them to sponsor this group build but they wouldn't bite!) Keep it up - I would love to see more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Four Corners Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I agree about the OOB cockpit. It is incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flag79 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Thank everybody for the compliments! I think that the photoetched seatbelts and Airscale decals (CorsairMan, you're right, they are great!!!) help to achieve a more realistic result. I apologize for not replying before to the posts, but I had to work really hard in the last two months. I could hardly find some times to carry on working on the Corsair. I'm sorry I could not add more in-progress photos. This evening I finished the model, but I have to wait until saturday totake some photos of it during the day. However, before starting the final assembling, I took the folowing images. Hope you like them, even if their quality is not very good...!!!
