As promised, an update! I’ve started the model last weekend after finally deciding on the best set of blueprints:
It’s the intention to make a whole series of these, most likely including the F4U-1 “birdcage”, F4U-1A, F4U-1D/FG-1D (shown), F4U-4, F4U-5, F4U-7, Royal Navy Corsairs (with clipped wings) and possibly more…
Finding an accurate set of blueprints was a big challenge (I have compared over a dozen) and I believe these, drawn by Rikyu Watanabe, are the best. And for once, all different views match up too! Believe it or not, this is extremely rare! 🙂
Looks awesome!
