F4U-4 Revell 1/72 04143

[No.1]

Arrival of new kits and material and overview of material previously obtained, demand some changes in work. So I start this Revell F4U-4 and my idea is not to focused on same kit but on products related to this kit. So I will use there Eduard upgrade sets, Eduard mask for canopy and mig paints and washes. Result will be even three review.

Basic kit is so basic, my first opinion is that without detail set, it would be empty. So first thing will be to prepare some set for interior and work on them.

Hi mate,

A not easy kit to be improved... Airscrew is inaccurate, as is canopy, etc. I built both F4U-7 and F4U-N, that has been a nightmare...

I also think to drop build with upgrade, to simple complete it as is and forget it somewhere in showcase

It will be waste time and material to use etched set for kit, so I will complete it as it is. I will use it for test of some paints and washes.

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