Yes, nice progress. Not an easy kit; I was disappointed by their F4U1...

And for me, disappointed by their F4U-5N and F7U-7...
The best kit of the F4U-7 that I got is HPM's kit :

For those who want to judge about the inaccuracies of Italeri's kits (Text is in French but the pictures show very well the meaning), see here :
F4U-5N :

Here it is, completed. I am not satisfied with my part of work, will credit it as crap. Wings do not fit good at all to fuselage and I should do more attention to carve shape into good fit, instead to use a lot of filler. Not easy to build from that point of view, many details are wrong but at least, in this dark scheme look somehow attractive and interesting.
