1/72 Tamiya F-4U Corsair

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

 

VERSION:

I like the "blue" ones, so I have decided to do an "all blue Corsair", the first version that is suggested by Tamiya.  Decals are very good, I just had to remove the clear-flim from them.

THE KIT AND CONSTRUCTION:

This Tamiya kit is very good with good detail especially for the cockpit (that is great), so no problem if you want to build it "just out of the box".  I had no problems when putting the fuselage and wing parts togehter, no putty was needed.  I added some cables to the engine and also I added new seat belts.

COLORS:

That's the standard US NAVY all blue scheme.  I used HUMBROL that was applied only by "brush".

CONCLUSION:

I strongly recommend this kit because it is easy to construct and all basic details are represented.
