Tutorial: BUILDING HASEGAWA'S F4U-4 CORSAIR


   This Corsair was painted with Tamiya acrylics and Model Master enamels. The color and markings historically depict an aircraft of the USMC VMF-225 Squadron based on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Siboney in 1947 where my father was a Corsair mechanic.

   The model was built mostly out of the box with few modifications. The spinning propeller is a disk of clear plastic with the "blurred" propeller airbrushed on.
