Hi guys,

About two months ago I submitted pictures of my first model ever built, well since at least 20 years ago. I am now submitting my second model for comments, ideas, suggestions, etc: Tamiya 1:48 scale Chance Vought F4U 1/2 Birdcage Corsair. Mine is the Marine Corps example based out of the manual. Still struggling with the cockpit canopy masking, using tamiya masking tape.

Wow… the second model that I ever built was hardly recognizable as one… Well done!

Looks good ! That weathering turned out nice too. One beaten up warbird.

Looks good! You went for the weathering and everything.

I think I ‘painted’ my first half-dozen models with a Q-tip and gloss Testor’s enamels. I don’t think a P-38 was supposed to have fuzz on the wings…

Bang up job, Alfonso! What ticks me off is that your 2nd model looks better than my 200th model. Ha-ha-ha! Great job on the Corsair. I loved the weathering on the wings.
