Thanks! I'm pleased you like it. The nice comments from my peers makes this worth while!

Thank you Dennis.

All done with this one. Mods include the Vector engines, cowlings, and props and True Details wheels. I replaced the loop antenna with one from my "spares" stash which is more in scale. I also replaced the radio antenna after breaking the kit one (twice!). Exterior paints are Model Master and Colorcoats. Decals are by Zotz with some of the national insignias are from the kit. I hope y'all like the results of my efforts!

All done. Check completed works.

I'm seriously considering Deacon Hively's 4th FG OD and gray a/c with invasion stripes. Unfortunately it doesn't appear there are any 1/32 decals for it. I have a sheet of 1/48 for his a/c that I can scan, re-scale and print on my laser printer. Wish I could find a 1/32 sheet for it but it is what it is I guess.

At some point, yes Peter. Not sure it'll be next though. I want to get all the after market stuff first (the Malcom hood will come from England).

I've been giving this kit a more thorough look. It appears I'll need some after market parts for a better model. Aerocraft Malcolm hood and screen, Aires cockpit, Quickboost gear doors. We'll see if there are others later.

Excellent Peter! Keep up the good work!

Thanks George. I appreciate that.

Thanks Gaz. I hope to finish it up in a day or two.

LOL Rob. I think it depends on the a/c the paint is on. The 3-tone fits the Ventura just right while the GSB fits the Corsair just right. On the other hand, the Hellcat and Wildcat look good in either. Just my humble opinion.

Thank you Peter. It won't be long before this one goes in the "done" column.

Painting done. Next is a bit of weathering.

Thanks! This is such a easy kit to build it just doesn't take a lot of time to get it done. The main "time consumer" has been the new nacelles. Right now the underside white and intermediate blue sides are done.

A really nice build Rob! I like it! I too have some HGW decals and will probably use some of them at some point but the info you provide here shows how "iffy" they can be. Keep up the good work!!!

Soon Dennis!

Thank you Ernie! I agree 100%. The cowlings "make" the model and the tri-color paint job should really finish it off! 😀

Thank you Rob! Won't be long before I can get started on painting. I look forward to it! That tri-color scheme fits this a/c perfectly.

Thanks Gaz (I think! LOL). No, no foil.

Yes indeed Peter. Easy peasy. LOL

It's coming right along. Easy build, etc.

Progress!!!! LOL

Thanks again Peter.

Thank you Peter. Vector makes some nice stuff.

Thank you Harv. Turned out pretty well.
