Corsairs were good planes. You did a good job on this one. Nice detail work.

Very, VERY nice work. I to have always loved the sloped wing spans on the F4 Corsairs. They were definitely a game changer for the U.S. back in the day.

That's a beauty there Lee! At 1/32nd scale it makes these bad boys really stand out with all the added detail. Great work man.

The prop that came out on that bird was HUGE so some extra ground clearance was needed. The gull wing design provided just the clearance that was needed without making the landing gear into long "stork" legs that would have sacrificed rigidity for carrier based landings. |

seems the first post didn't go thru (actually I am trying to get my count up... kidding)....
I said; I don't know much about planes, but I do know a solid, clean build when I see one... great job!!
