F4u-4 Corsair NAS Olathe, Kansas
The idea to build this project. To marry an old Hasegawa kit (F4u-4) with Tamtia kit (F4u-1)
Construction. Having the two kits, I decided to see if I could make them into one set. . I kept the fuselage and wings from the Tamiya kit and the engine from the Hasegawa kit. The only difficult part was the bottom of the fuselage.
It should be said here, that there is no good kit of F4u-4 in 1 \ 48. After looking carefully, based on the plan and from photos, all the parts. Then I started gluing the Corsair..

The same company. Blue is FS-35164 and I covered the lower surface with White matt. The black carpet in front of the hood is a light hand. I lightly rubbed the opium with a tissue paper before spraying the matte varnish. I washed with Ocra & Raw umber (1: 4) oil. I finished with another coat of H-20 Flat Clear Hobby, to seal the paint and managed to give the light, to the dirt. On stains and patches from other colors that had fall on the emblems. Finally I went over with dust (MP Hobby, RW 02), in the color of sand, the whole plane with a back brush.
