| What are the chances of seeing a 1:48 or 1:32 F4U Corsair from HM ?
Last edited by STARMAN 352ND : 04-24-2008 at 09:10 PM.
Reason: pictures
Of all the warbirds i have in 1:32 this F4U Corsair has been missing in a die-cast... What are the chances of Hobby Master making this Corsair in 1:32 ? I would really love to see it done as a VMF-214 Blacksheep or VF-17 Jolly Roger.. I know there are a few of you out there that would like to see this one as well.. even a 1:48 one would be great because no one makes a really nice looking F4U Corsair to date. JP HERE ARE SOME FINE LOOKING CORSAIRS BUILT BY PLASTIC MODEL BUILDERS BOYINGTON F4U-1A CORSAIR   **JUST A NOTE FOR THE BOYINGTON CORSAIR** * BuNo 18086, an F4U-1A, in November 1943, or he at least sat in it for the PR photos * BuNo 17740, an F4U-1A, in December 1943, used in "baseball" photo session * BuNo 17883, an F4U-1A, in December 1943, also flown by Bob McClurg * BuNo 17915, an F4U-1A, in January 3, 1944, Boyington's last mission..He was shot down in this Corsair "BIG HOG" F4U-1A FLOWN BY COMMANDER JOHN T. BLACKBURN OF VF-17 JOLLY ROGER  F4U-1 "MARINES DREAM" BIRDCAGE CORSAIR  | ||||||||||||||

I agree, wholeheartedly, JP. I got tired of waiting for a decent larger scale Corsair, so I finally ponied up the cash for the Tamiya Masterwork 1:48 Jolly Rogers Birdcage... what a stunning model of a beautiful aircraft. I would love a 1:32 diecast done with tender loving care. | |||||||||||||||

| Re: What are the chances of seeing a 1:48 or 1:32 F4U Corsair from HM ? Can I throw in a 1/72nd scale birdcage Corsair for the list? I'd rather not pay for the pre-built one from Tamiya and Corgi's, well..... | ||||||||||||||

Now that you mention it, I did snap pictures of this one, a long time ago, and forgot to post them. I'll see if I can get around to that tonight. Keep an eye on the plastics threads. | |||||||||||||||

| Re: What are the chances of seeing a 1:48 or 1:32 F4U Corsair from HM ? I vote for a 1/32 scale - I have both 1/72 and 1/48 F4U's already. Let's see a 1/32 bird with some cool features (retracting gear, flaps, gun access, detailed engine - folding wings might be a bit much). | ||||||||||||||
