Default RE: I Saw it! TF 60 Size Corsair ARF!!!!!

ORIGINAL: Thunderbolt47
Is this the one?
My initial guess would be: YES!
It is obviously a Top Flite, but has some ARF characteristcs such as the the obviously molded (and painted) tailwheel area cover, and the cowl which is slightly mis-matched colorwise to the covering

On a positive note: the wingtips and rudder APPEAR to be at the very least: more correct than the kit version built as per plans.

On the negative side tho, it is obviously a representation of Lt. Ira Kepfords F4U-1A, which had a tri-color scheme. It also appears to be gray on the underside: only the very early Corsairs, mostly F4U-1 s, had a 2 tone scheme with gray on the underside.

Overall, IF they got the outline correct as it appears: I usually strip down ARFs anyway and apply my own finish/ scheme (wish more companies would offer ARCs).
