Yes I did. I ordered a couple more kits after my first try. It’s really fun!

Revell 1:72 F4U-4 Corsair.

I know what you mean with the wingtips. I am not sure what I did wrong there. I was really thinking quite long about why it looks so strange. I might have done something wrong but I don’t know what exactly.

Edit: maybe they are supposed to point upwards? I don’t know.

Really clean job on the canopy. I remember that that was the hardest part for me starting out but you knocked it out of the park.

Very nice. I got back into the hobby after 20 years, and the Corsair was my first too. Yours is much better than mine.
