Very nice!

When we were kids we would take that plane into the back yard and blow it up with firecrackers, along with American, German and Japanese stuff.
We would recreate WW2 with models and explosives.

BTW: America won every battle in our backyard.

Nice Corsair. :salute

Thanks and yes, Hasegawa. Very quick and easy build. I hand brushed painted it with Tamiya paints. It's weathered with Florry "Dark Dirt" wash and Tamiya Weathermaster "soot". Decals are a mix of AeroMaster and Superscale.
