The mud on the wheels is not the same color as pac terrain mud by at least 3 shades.

Two of the scratches on the right blade were not present on the original bird.

A boot scuff was apparent on the upper portion of the 9 in the right side below the cannopy 98 that was present through most of the war on this particular bird.

Fricking incredible work.

That is NOT a F4U-1A

It is a early -1d

It has wing rocket racks and dual center section hard points, with the drop tanks on them.

The machine gun ports in the wing do not look right either.

but overall it is Fantastic!

Good eye GTO! zIn the article he explains that he made an error and used some of the 1D parts included in the kit. For the sake of a title of the thread, I just said F4U-1A.

Yep, Hyperscale has alot of "expert" grade models. Great variety of examples from different modellers and their styles. F4u is probably my favorite wwII bird. Corsairs are evil.)
