Finally completed this wonderful kit. Finding the time to work on it regularly has been a challenge due to lack of enough free time from work so it took me longer than expected to complete but I really enjoyed every single moment.
Any feedback and criticism will be more than welcome..

Simply stunning build of an awesome kit. I like how authentic your blue color choices look – that’s often a stumbling block on USN aircraft. Great balanced weathering too!

Thanks a lot… I usually try to balance the weathering on the upper surfaces…. the wing undersurfaces are much more weathered….

Nicely done. I have been thinking of Baa Baa Blacksheep and Pappy Boyington. Gonna have to try one of those. Very very nice.

Absolutely incredible build! I have the same model in my stash…
Great painting and weathering
You knocked it out of the park. Great job all around.
I built the Tamiya birdcage Corsair in this scale a few years back, decided that I loved building that one so much that I picked up the 1A so I could experience this one all over again.
Same here… I have loved building this one so much that I have bought a 1D for my stash.. will be the next one after the Tamiya 1/48 F16 CJ that I am starting right now…
