Corsair Engine
Engine considerations
The F4U incorporated the largest engine available at the time, the 2,000 hp (1,500 kW) 18-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial. To extract as much power as possible, a relatively large Hamilton Standard Hydromatic three-blade propeller of 13 feet 4 inches (4.06 m) was used.
I used Eduard Photo etched parts for the Ignition cables.

Flight Deck 1/48 DIY Part 3
The Flight should have some base was my first idea, a sockel of 60mm or so, the I figured out to create a section of an aircraft carrier in my case the USS Wasp and build a part of the carrier underneath the flight deck. I create the starborad side of the USS WASP and in special the Catwalk over the rear hangar in front of the rear elevator. The catwalk was glued to the flight deck and is complete removerable from the hangar box. Both 20mm Orlikon Guns are almost built from scratch the same as the structure under the catwalk. The whole Section will be sound animtaed, But at frist some pics from the progress. A crew for the deck area was alos ordered from Super Hobby in Poland.
