full build Vought F4U-1D Corsair from Tamiya in 1/48 scale on flight deck diorama

The Vought F4U-1D Corsair from Tamiya in 1/48 scale. A straight out of the box build. And as I don't own a airbrush, this will all be done with brushes. With lacquer and oil paints. I had a lot of fun with this airplane!

I love the idea of a black & white model to replicate a photo! I might have to try it, maybe even a whole diorama, do everything in greyscale

[@roelvandelden2322]

Thanks for the compliment. Love to see the result of your build :)

[@Exar_Kun]

Holy shit that’s incredible!! Amazingly beautiful work my friend!!!!❤😎

[@roelvandelden2322]

Thank you! Glad you liked it. Was a lot of fun making it. (and coming up with the idea)

@@roelvandelden2322 you have incredible talent good sir!!

[@stevenjones2371]

awesome work i never got into any other way to paint a model all mine were painted with a brush and once in awhile a can of spray paint

[@roelvandelden2322]

Thank you! I don't get the sleek paint finish when I compare it to airbrush finishes. But this works for me too. I'm having a lot of fun. That's the most important part :)

[@stevenjones2371]

yes so true i got into 3d printing about 2 years ago ive found so many buildings and so much stuff that would be awesome for when ever i get back into doing models and diaramas @@roelvandelden2322

[@modelmantstewart1292]

Very very good work and not criticizing but I believe the window in the fuselage is used for landing and takeoffs to help the pilot see the runway

[@roelvandelden2322]

Ah I see. Thanks for the info and the compliment!

[@steve1315]

Very nice work.

[@roelvandelden2322]

Thank you!

Cool 🛩👍

[@roelvandelden2322]

Thanks!

[@tonygary7611]

👍👍 very nice Im guessing every now and then a land based corsair would land on a carrier I like the well worn look

[@roelvandelden2322]

Thank you! Yes, I just allow myself a bit of creative freedom. That keeps it fun :)

[@tonygary7611]

@@roelvandelden2322 yes I agree it's your build have fun with it

[@dave-d-grunt]

Navy and Marines took better care of their planes. Wouldn’t look that bad. But I did enjoy your video

[@roelvandelden2322]

Glad to hear you like the video. And yes for an aircraft carrier aircraft it is absurd. (heard that before ;) But I had a lot of fun making it that way.

[@kmurphy739]

Model is excellent but the weathering is overkill.

[@roelvandelden2322]

Thanks for the compliment and feedback. And yes I went overboard on the chipping. But it was fun :)

[@oneastrails]

You working is outstanding but as an ex military aircraft tech, I can tell you no respecting Crew Chief would ever let his baby get looking like that. War or no war. Just way way too far overkill on paint chipping. Bare metal at sea is a very big no no, it would be patched up pronto. All US Navy carrier decks were stained blue by October of 1941

[@roelvandelden2322]

Thanks for the compliment and the explanation! (can understand why this almost hurts to see :)

[@user-oe1fl4hp9m]

how dirty and ragged...How not from an aircraft carrier

[@roelvandelden2322]

Yes that could be right :)
