1/48 F4U1 birdcage (Tamiya) Ready for inspection

[suavetomcat]

A few weeks ago Scott kindly made a video for the Scale model addict utube channel of my work. I thought I'd add some more photos of the work in the video. I hope you enjoy.

This is Tamiyas F4U1 Birdcage. I added the Eduard photoetch set for the cockpit, and used Baracuda decals.

















Thanks for checking out my build.

Looks great! I think that's the same kit I just started.

 

[suavetomcat]

Thanks Scrach. One of the nicest kits I've had the pleasure of putting together. I do have another one in the stash that I'm looking to do soon. Wings down this time though.... Looking forward to seeing what you make of it.
