1/48 Hasegawa F4 Corsair

--------------------

 

I built this model some time ago so I can't remember all the details.

She's not strictly accurate for a Fleet Air Arm machine, but sadly I don't care, I just make 'em as I like 'em. 

As I recall she was built almost straight from the box, the only alteration was to remove the wing tips, already scored on the inside of the wings, and to add seat belts and an aerial.

There were no problems with the build that stick in my mind, quite an easy project that took just a few days, start to finish, just what we need every now and again.

Decals came from the spares box, unfortunately I can't remember which squadrons codes these are and I can't find the reference picture's I used. (Ah, the senior moments, I'm more like my Father every day!)
