I think everybody know this kit - very nice Bird Cage Corsair from Tamiya.

I decided to depict a plane flown by Lt. Halford from USS Essex.

All kit parts fit perfectly. You do not have to use putty.

The model is straight out of the box exept the scratch-built seat belts.

The model is painted with Pactra acrylics. Wash is made of Humbrol. Some stains and other weathering thanks to artistic oil paints.

I recommend this kit to everyone. A must-have in the family of carrier-based US aircraft.
