The eighth week of the F4U-1A project was spent adding more details to the diorama scene. I added the sand, ground cover, some brush, and tall grass to finish off the tree line. The barrels were then added. I also scratch built a refueling cart and placed one of the fuel barrels with a pump, fuel hose, and nozzle.
The goal for this upcoming week is to complete the weathering of the display base and then do the final touches on the aircraft and get it mounted. I have located a couple of photos to use for the backdrop. I need to see which one will work the best with the diorama. NOTE: The photo with a back drop is just the cover of the Tamiya kit just to get an idea of what a back drop would look like. This project should be coming to a close in the next two weeks.
You can see all the photos and details from the start in the build log at: 1/48 F4U-1A CORSAIR
