Rick Reinert
Pawleys Island, South Carolina
To depict the harsh conditions of serving in The Solomons during World War II, Rick heavily weathered his Tamiya 1/32 scale F4U “Birdcage” Corsair. After wiring the engine, scratchbuilding the cowling actuators, and upgrading the cockpit and canopy with aftermarket details, he painted with Tamiya and MRP colors. Weathering was handled with various AK Interactive and Ammo washes.
