Here's my old F4U, dusty and dirty but still intact. I built this one for my wife when we were dating in the late 1970s and she displayed it at her apartment. It's an Otaki (my favorite Corsair kit even now) and I scratchbuilt the wing folding stuff:

Thanks, mate!

When we had been dating for a year or so I took her to an airshow and she told me the Corsair was her favorite airplane--the gull wings and so on, so I built her this one a while later. I seem to remember I gave it to her as a birthday present in 1978 or '79. It's one of the few of my old builds that I have no intention of restoring, even though it could use some updates, as you see!
