Tamiya Masterwork 1:48 F4U-1 Corsair "Birdcage"

Picked this up from an on-line retailer last November. They are now out of stock and extremely hard to find. Note: I did not include the pitot tube and aerials in these pictures, as I did not want to inadvertently break them while snapping pics. I hope you enjoy!

What the heck, a few more (I haven't learned yet how to capture a model's beauty like Pappy, Tri, Celtic, and a few others, but I think you can get a general idea from these rather "clinical" pictures of the model's detail):

Very impressive Elmer. I really like the exhaust stains.

Re: Tamiya Masterwork 1:48 F4U-1 Corsair "Birdcage"

THanks Elmer, looks really nice! May have to try to track one down and break my "no plastic" rule (Though there are a few metal parts, right, such as the gear?)

Are the flaps poseable?
