kellyF15 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 This is amazing! I do have one question though; I read somewhere awhile back that the -1 and -1A had black cockpit sidewalls. Do the Tamiya instructions give any clarification on that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WasatchModeler Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 The instructions for the for the F4U-1 say xf-5:2 + xf-8:1 that's two parts flat green and one part flt blue. So kinda a blue/green on early birdcages. I chose a darkened zinc chromate. I am not sure when they chose to go to a black sidewall. The manual for the 1a has a yellow/green for most of the cockpit.
