Name of Build: Jessie Brown's Corsair
Kit manufacturer: Hobby Boss
Scale: 1/48
Description
This is the Hobby Boss 1/48 F4U-4 (Early) Corsair. I added True Details radial wheels along with Scale Aircraft Conversion soft metal landing gear (mains and tail). Some Eduard PE was added to the cockpit, including the instrument panel. Fine Molds plastic seat belts were added to the PE seat. Wiring was added to the engine, gear wells and landing gear as well as the ignition wires on the rockets.
The finish is Lifecolour Acrylics with a number of different decal sheets in order to depict Jesse Brown's Corsair as it would have looked on a regular search and destroy mission in Korea. Brown was the first African-American naval aviator in the United States Navy, a recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross, and the first naval officer killed in the Korean War.
