For the second week of the Corsair I assembled, detailed, and painted the engine. The cockpit was installed into the fuselage and the fuselage halves were assembled. The lower section of the fuselage and wing roots were then assemble, detailed, and installed.
I am currently working on the landing gear. These require some modifications due to the numerous photo etch details on them. Once these are completed I can then work in the outer wing assemblies. For this diorama the wings will be in the down position. Then once the aircraft is assembled I can take all the measurements for the display case size.
You can see all the photos and details from start to finish in the build log at: 1/48 F4U-1A CORSAIR
