Bernhard SchrockThank you Mates.
This was my first model which I published in the german modeling magazine ModellFan in 1997. I was so proud because I could assist Uwe Lacina (chief editor) by shooting the pictures and by creating the article in Illustrator (!!). In result of this action I wrote more dozen articles for the next 16 years... This was a great time.

Kerry COXThat is a great rendition of a very well known bird that Pappy Boyington would be happy to have on his office table. For sure. : -) He received both the Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross.

Zbynek HonzikThis is a breathtaking result, Bernhard. And those "period" photos. Stunning!

Urban GardiniLooking great mate. But isn't it F4U-2 that is the right name for this bird?

Bernhard SchrockThx Zbynek & Urban, especially for the Dash 2 hint. Indeed, I've forgotten that is a F4U-2 because I build this bird 23 years ago.

Urban GardiniStrange how it's easier to forget something than it is to remember the same thing...

At the weekend I "found" the old pictures of my first Corsair and realised that this model is no presented yet in the net.
Tamiya, 1:48 with any scratchbuild details and weapon bay probably of Verlinden. The pictures shot Uwe Lacina.
