lukebozek1 | Guillows Series 1000 - F4U Corsair | Build | 22-Nov-10 09:59 | ![](user_aircraft_thumb600/20210.jpg) | Views : 1022 | Nice profile. The canopy turned green with 42 years in the box, and teh cowling had a gross imperfection in the botton by the vents. Ordered noew from the folks at Guillows. Funny to see the old 1972 price list, things have gone up. |

So if you use that piece marked "SA" add a little more width to be sure of the fit. |
