1/144 Corsair With Folded Wings

Feeling pretty good after the NOVA show and it inspired me to work on one of my shelf queens. This is the AFV Club F4U Corsair in 1/144, one of my favorite kits and one of my favorite aircraft. The kit comes with 2 planes and I built one probably 2 years ago. This one I built and painted the first 2 colors over a year ago, then added the dark blue a couple months later, but parked it when I neared the finish line. I just couldn’t bring myself to finish it for some reason.

I added a clear coat Saturday night and finished adding the decals Sunday evening. Snapped a photo while the MicroSol was doing its thing. Next I need to paint and attach the landing gear and weapons, etc, then touch up some of the green areas before a final satin or matte top coat. Not planning to weather this one at all so it’s going to wrap up quickly and join my other carrier aircraft.
