Hello Mr.Skinner67. Awesome collection. Been googling pics of the DW Bunker hill corsair and it brought me here. Im really interested in getting this model and I want to ask if it has a color comparable to the rest of your Bunker hill models from HM. It should have like a blueish shade right? But from pics Im seeing, it seems that its just pure black. How is it in real life? Tnx so much

Thanks Tim. It's a great little model.
The color is dark blue and matches the Helldiver and Hellcat. I have a Corgi Bunker Hill Corsair in the lighter blue, very similar to what is shown on the Avenger above, but it's not as nice as the Dragon version in my opinion. The landing gear attachment is pretty bad, but with patience, it eventually acted accordingly.
Even the pics at TFM make it look black in some shots:

Hey Mr.Skinner67. Thanks for the quick response. Good to know its just the lighting thats causing all these. Will be getting this then. As for the HM Bunker Hill corsair, that does look so nice. Might consider that someday but will be staying on the 1/72 scale for the mean being.
Hi Skinner67, thank you for information, I bough DA Tiger 60098 because I wanted with darker camoflauge, what do you think about it ?
Your link dosen't work at now.

Try this link. You may need to email the forum admin as the site has been under spamming attack over the last few months. They are quick to respond, and should give you access if you have trouble.
It has some very minor flaws, but I'll let you discover them for yourself, if you're inclined to notice. I don't like pointing them out, because it's a generally accurate representative of the real machine.
The camo is unusual and it has the great Fiefel air cleaners. These two features make it one of my favorites.
Great thread Scott! I've learned a lot about your collection. Glad you consider the Doolittle Raider to be iconic, April 1942 was a scary time and that was a gutsy raid. I love the look too.
