I finished painting the camo on one of the HobbyCraft FG-1D Corsairs today. This one fought on the side of El Salvador during the infamous 1969 "Soccer War." This is one of four kits from that conflict that I'm building for a customer.

The gray-green is Model Master RAF Interior Green, the tan is MM RAF Middlestone, and the dark green and light gray are Gunze Viet Nam-era SEA scheme colors. I used WEM Japanese ID band yellow for the stripes. The camo was sprayed freehand, using my trusty old Badger 150 (the workhorse).






Now to paint another one for this project !

can isee all of the others

Excellent brush control Bill. I do like that camo scheme.
Didn't the Honduras Corsairs have a dark camo scheme ? Which will make a nice contrast to the El Salvador scheme.
What camo scheme will the Mustang be in ?
Keep up the good work and keep us posted please.

Thanks Andy !

The Honduran Corsair is Hasegawa's F4U-5N, and it will be painted a weather-beaten Dark Sea Blue. The other HobbyCraft FG-1D will be natural metal, and the Mustang will wear a disruptive scheme of brown and green over gray. Familiar-looking birds, but wearing VERY non-traditional schemes.

Thanks again !
