F4U-4 Korean War 1/48th scale

This was a Christmas gift to myself. The copyright goes back to 1963 when I was 13.
I'm going to try and motorised it with an electric motor taken from a wand yard sprayer.
I started by gluing the engine cowling to the left fuselage half in order to align the electric motor later. Gary S.

You better think about controls on the flight surfaces with that motor, it's big enough to move the thing!
Have fun with it Gary

Oh yeah, that's going to make some torque.
I can't wait to see this one come together.

The motor is epoxied in, the basic cockpit awaits paint, the antennas installed and the tail wheel doors are glued shut. The antennas needed to be shaped or else the looked like a couple of 1 x 2's stiking out in the breeze. I decided to make the model gear up and not fool with the micky mouse gear. Gary S.

This should be fun.
