1/72 F4U-5 Corsair Vista: Presentazione Mosaico Elenco 1 October 8, 2019
Everything ready, let's give it a go, shall we?
2 October 8, 2019
One thing I did not mention is, that I decidet to replace the kit shallow "engine" with quickboost resin casting. Much more detailed and nicer
3 October 8, 2019
Some adjustement was required to fit the casting in the fuselage halves
4 October 8, 2019
quite a nice fit
5 October 8, 2019
To prevent the engine to slide inside the fuselage, plastic sheet glued in place to stop the unwanted movement
6 October 8, 2019
all parts ready for further painting and detailing (engine still need some love 🙂 )
7 October 8, 2019
Instrument panel sanded flat, painted white and then the thin foil was glued with the cover PE part (after spryaing it with tamyia XF-85 rubber black). Everything is glued together with PVA glue
8 October 8, 2019
Control stick and main cockpit painted.
9 October 8, 2019
this time, PE parts from the set were NOT used. (did not like them to be honest)
10 11 October 8, 2019
main cockpit is ready for installation
12 October 8, 2019
I will be adding some small parts to both halves of the fuselage. And after detailing the engine a little more, fuselage can be glued together.
13 October 10, 2019
Instrument panel and control stick glued in place.
14 October 10, 2019
and one picture with flash - just to see everything in there
15 October 10, 2019
control rods glued where they should be, painted and slightly weathered the whole engine
16 October 10, 2019
It's looking nice. I like it!

18 November 25, 2019
wings and fuselage glued together - no major issues

small gaps between the upper transition between the wings and the fuselage - nothing major which a little bit of putty can't solve

21 November 25, 2019
small bits and bobs painted

Propeller ready for seal coat of varnish and weathering
29 November 25, 2019
All decals in place - now it's time for several coats of SOL to get rid of the few spots of silvering
30 31 December 13, 2019
After wash and small corrections for the chipping - plane is completed!
32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 December 13, 2019
Nice kit, no major issues, few sink marks and small gap between the wing and the fuselage but otherwise very, very nice model. Highly recommended!
