1/48 Tamiya F4U-1D

by Kelly Green

--------------------

 

Well, this is my first well put off submission. The F4U is probably my favorite WW2 aircraft.  I have several of these Tamiya kits, as well as an Academy one that I am building right now.  It is nowhere as near as good as the other models here, but I hope to get there.  I actually completed this about 3 years ago, and it was my first build ever taken seriously.  I used Modelmaster FS35044 which I now believe is the wrong shade. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have been an F-15 crew chief for almost 10 years now, so trust me when I say I definitely have to work on my weathering skills. I look forward to the feedback, as I have been checking this site out for about 2 years, and have a lot of respect for you guys, especially the extremely detailed F-15's y'all do. Once again, thanks for this website, I have learned so much from you guys.

Thanks

Kelly
