VMA-214 “Blacksheep” | Iwakuni AB | c. 1977
A completed build of the Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair on display in the Model Showcase.
In part two we work on the some cockpit details, ejection seats, and instrument panel.
In this post we throw down the base coat, do some detail painting, and finally apply all the decals.
In part eight, the final installment of this build series, we weather the aircraft and assemble the final pieces. The full completed build gallery can be found in the showcase.
In this post we put down some primer and clean up a few remaining blemishes. I also go over the scheme options and chose paint scheme to use.
In Part 2 we detail the gear bay as well as look into the cockpit and fuselage fit.
