Hi guys. Here is my entry for April MOM.

This is the Tamiya F4U 1-D built as a F4U 1-A. I used the KMC resin detail set for the cockpit, detail was added to the engine using parts from the spares box, beading wire and small bits of stretched sprue.

I added brake lines using fine solder and small strips of masking tape for the rubber seals between the gear doors and the bottom of the wing.

I added details to the wingfold using photo-etch parts from the spares box, strecthed sprue for the hydrualic lines and a length a clear stretched sprue painted clear red for the hyrualic leak. When this model was completed, my son Justin pointed out to me that the hydraulic leak was curling to much, so I replaced it with a new length of sprue. I used ModelMaster paints and Superscale decals. Thanks for looking,Wingman out.
