This
is the “Vought Corsair F4 U1” from
Tamiya. This Corsair was named
“Bubbles” used by Marine Corps in Guadalcanal during 1943. The
fit and the detail level of this kit is excellent, so it's built mostly OOB.
The
cockpit parts are painted to the interior green and black.
I
used the kit decal for the instrument panel. I also have
added PE seat belts from Eduard.
The
painting was done with Gunze and Tamiya acrylics as
usual. The lower surfaces are
painted with Tamiya sky grey lightened by adding white (FS 36440). The color of the
top surfaces is “Blue grey -FS 15189”. For this color I used a mixture
from Gunze “blue grey”, “blue” and “white”.
