Here is my Corsair, build basically out of the box, except for UltraCast Tire, exhaust and seat. I also added plug wires to engine using fine jewelry wire. Painting was done with my Paasche VL using Tamiya acrylics.

Beautiful work on my favorite Navy/Marine aircraft of WW2. Great job, is it 1/72 scale? Just curious. Russell

No, it is the Tamiya 1/48 kit.

I agree with Russell, the Corsair is a fantastic looking bird and you've built an excellent model. I've ordered the Tamiya kit and am looking forward to putting it together soon.
