Ira Kepford X Four

Looks like one manufacturer is out of step on the insignias.

Re: Ira Kepford X Four

Could be some antenna mast configuration issues too.

Re: Ira Kepford X Four

Okay Epapazian, I give up! I know the model on the upper right is a 1:72 scale Corgi F4U. But what are the other three? I love Corsairs and I'm really curious. BTW, I love ALL your posts where you show us your collection and all your customization projects. Your work is awesome!

Re: Ira Kepford X Four

Could it be the red borders around the national insignia on the larger model. This form of insignia was used from June 1943 to Sep 1943?

Re: Ira Kepford X Four

The one on the lower left is the Easy Model version. Lower right is the Franklin Mint version. Not sure about the one at upper left.

Re: Ira Kepford X Four

Larger one being Franklin Mint model, that would be the one that is off on the insignia.

The one on the upper left is one of my solid resin "specials",dating back to about 1995. It's a custom piece. The others are an Easy Model F4U and one of the early CDC Armour models---the one with the wrong red-bordered insignia. Kepford could never have amassed all of those kills during the few months that these insignias were in force.
