Hi all,
Here is my entry for the wings over water campaign it is hasegawas 1/48 F4U-4 Corsair done up in Korean War markings.


i hope like it.

Nice one Andy, that snake motif certainly does give it an air of menace. The cockpit canopy frame is excellent, I wish I could get the hang of how you guys do them so neatly.

Brandy,
Thanks for the comments, The canopy frame i did by masking it first then i just hand brushed it very carefully with a thin brush that i use for painting faces.

Hi Andy,
nice, very nice.
Are these the finished photos?
You might pin the material to a wall and let it drape down over the table top, then you won't have any horizon join lines. Just a thought.
Again really nice job.
Cheers
Peter

Andy beautiful Corsair!!!! Tip for your next A/C: after masing the canopy paint the interior color first, then the exterior color. This makes for a nice trick of interior painting on the canopy. Also note that certain time frames saw differnt colors for the interiors of aircraft. Most Navy aircraft where the Black went to the end of the wind screen also had black interior framing. HTH

Also nice job on the cowl masking!!!! Decals are nicly done!!! STUG

Very nice Andy, I'm assuming she isn't quite finished yet, as the head rest is still to be painted. They were black leather, I believe :-) Nice BWB, just gotta love the Corsair

very nicely done Andy. That snake on the nose is the first time i have ever seen one. You did her justice. A real beauty to add to the WOW campaign

Holdfast,
These pics are meant to be of the finished model but...........Thanks i didn't realise i had left the head reast unpainted i will fix that up today.
Thanks for all your comments guys

The corsair looking very very good. i don't know much about WW II naval avaiation, but the paint job, the decal all very nice, a little more weathering, and chipping will make it even better. good work.

PLANE RULES!

Looks good Andy
