Title: 1/48 F4u-1 latest build.
Post by: Bodhi on November 09, 2004, 07:51:01 PM

Ok, it is a stock kit, with some minor scratch built changes, and was done quickly, but, it is for a friend, and thought I would share some photos with ya'll before I sent it off to him.

** note the scratch built dropped flaps and the stiffeners in the gear well.

The cockpit is all stock, just painted with a needle and small brushes.  The only changes I made were to the gear wells, the bomb shackle, the antennae, and the split flaps.

Hope ya'll enjoy.  Oh, and please excuse the dust on it... :D

I am constantly amazed at the talent in this group.

Nice pics.

P.S. France is going to get it big time in Diplomacy. I was sent an email my mistake and Holland and Britan are just setting you up.

Oh please do tell Habu....The world is on pins and needles....


BTW Bodhi I think the dust is a little bit of an immersion type thing since that plane looks like a Marine bird.

Nice paint work!  Good weathering - not too much, not too little.

I'm surprised you didn't try to use copper wiring for the engine just to dress it up a bit, but it still looks very good.

I am sure you will deny it Reschke but I am amazed you would stab your good and loyal friend in the back like you are planning.
