This is the second kit I have finished since I started up building again. I haven't built a kit since I was about 12 or 13. It is Heller's 1/48 AU-1 Corsair. What a P.O.S., but a good kit to start with. It is out of the box, with the exception of a Hasegawa -5/AU-1/-7 prop. The decals are Victory Productions (very impressed). I did a little drybrushing, used a watercolor wash for the panel lines, and used pastels for the exhaust stains and dirt on the struts and wheels.

Let me know what you all think...

Next project: Hasegawa F4U-5 Corsair

Congratulation DanteC for your outstanding Corsair!

Next time you make one try a French one like those which fought well in Indochina and Algeria.

Sincerely.
