1/48 Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair

Hello all.  Here is my Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1D Corsair.  I built this kit mostly out of the box, only adding a photo etch harness from Eduard and rockets from an Academy P-38.

I understand Tamiya's Corsair kit with the moto tug comes with the rockets!  Paint used was the old Floquil military line (nice stuff), and the decals are from Eagle Strike (always good).  

The model represents a plane from VMF-216 off the carrier USS Wasp during the early raids against the Japanese home islands in February 1945.  As usual much gratitude goes out to our club here in Santo Domingo, ADME.  Maybe I'll change my photo set up for the next model as you all must be tired of this one!  Thanks again for looking.

Paul
