With the excellent kit from Trumpeter I tried to represent the aircraft White 167 of
Lt. Roger Hedrick of the VF-84, which was active from the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill in the Pacific in
1945.

I wanted add a little more detail on this very special aircraft, I purchased the excellent set of Grey Matter Corsair engine bay GMALB 3203, and decals No. 32 018 of
Techmod. This particular set of Grey Matter is intended for the corresponding Corsair of
Tamiya. So I had to modify it so that it fit properly in the kit of our own manufacturing.
You can say that I struggled enough at this point.
There were constructions as follows: gun bay, engine bay, landing gear cockpit, fuel tank, antenna wireless, cowling and opened some variation panels painted with excellent colors Gunze: H5 Blue, H55 Midnight Blue and the bottom of the vessel H11 Flat White. The interior was painted with H58 interior green and H 4 Yellow GUNZE. In the end the aircraft sprayed with acrylic matte varnish
WINSOR-NEWTON from the series Galleria.
I hope you will like it!
