Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1A Finished

[nerdling]

I just finished my secret santa gift from Jeff late lastnight. This kit was a dream to build. I can see myself building a few more of these in the future. Thanks Again Jeff! Would have posted some progress photos but Sarah had the camera at work. Took the photos outside I hope they came out alright. Personally I think this is my best build to date. Also my first tri color scheme. The decals came from an ancient Sky Decals sheet I had.

Great job Ryan, I like that kit also, can see doing another for sure. Only thing I don't like about it is the way the flaps attach to the wings, not a really good fit there but it works.

Really like the tricolor scheme Ryan, well done!

Looks great Ryan! I like the weathering and how the markings on the wings blend in with the paint job.

i really like what you did with the underside, looks used but not overdone!
