Another kit I have my eyes on doing when funds allow and after I have sorted out a few important financial things that are waying heavy on my mind, is to do another kit that falls quite close to this one as they were both FAA service and both based at the same Naval base were my late father worked - the unique one of a kind F4U-1A/-D Corsair, My farther used to chat to me about "the bent wing bird" and how they were like nothing else he had worked on, and how they had initial teething troubles with them that needed quite a bit of sorting out before they could go onto the British carriers. This type - (Off the Net) Will keep you posted. OC.

Evening all, I managed to get more done on the fuselage today - I started by taking off the camo mask and checked the finish, it turned out ok nice and smooth, next stage was to find the front demarcation line for the Black/camo split, I made a mark then ran a mask line towards the tail using Tamiya tape, I did the same both sides then made a curve in front of the tail using blu tack, then I filled in the top camo section with paper and went in the garden and sprayed with my Tamiya rattle can. It was then put inside my box to de gas and harden. OC.

Yep the Mig eater. OC. -
I decided to do a bit more on mossie as the tv was rubbish, so I thought I would have a go at the props and spinners, these are a Three piece unit considting of the prop a backing plate and the spinner cap, first I cleaned up the prop and discovered it was a bit to thick and lacking shape, simple adjustment by samding it to reduce its thickness while also giving it some shape. I then dry fitted it. OC.

Hi all, thank you for all the likes and comments, so while waiting for the paint on the fuselage to harden, I decided to do a bit more detailing on the wings with shading and highlighting to give it a bit of realism. OC.
