Thank you Martin. I'm please that you like the results of my efforts.

Thanks!!! I'm glad you like it.

Thank you Gaz.

Thanks Harv. I'm glad to be finished with it as I grew tired of the build towards the end.

Thank you Bill!

Done with this one. Far from perfect but I was ready to be done with it. Mods include FineMolds seat belts, Eduard cockpit placards, replacement gun sight from "spares" stash, and Barracudacast wheels. I also re-set the antenna a little to the left as on the real a/c (kit has it mounting in the middle of the spine) and added the canopy pull bar and the little side window on the left of the windscreen. I added ignition wiring to the engine but deleted all the usless BS ducting, etc which is not visible on the completed model. Painted with MM 34087 OD and Neutral Gray. Cockpit is Colourcoats Dull Dk. Green. Wheel wells Testor's YZC. National insignia decals are Lifelike while the rest are from the decal sheet provided with Vol.1 of the 56th FG by Hussar/AJ Press. It represents a a/c flown by Gladych. I hope you like the results!

Finished with this one.

I have 4 commercial style cases and they are all full. I don't have room for another case so I'll have to do some creative scrunching up. Even at that I don't have adequate room.

Thanks guys. Finished decaling. Next is flat coat overspray.

Thanks Harv!!!

Getting there!

I look forward to seeing your progress as you go along Rob.

Thanks Mike. I have most of the decals on now so it's really looking like a 56th FG Jug!

Welcome to LSM Kai!

I agree Cees.

Thanks. As I was spraying the 1st color I kept thinking it just wasn't "right" but decided to continue and see how it looked when done. I knew then a different color was needed!

Thanks Phil. Helps me to keep my sanity! LOL

Grey Matter F4U-1A engine/accessory bay. Outstanding resin. One of these days I'll do a -1A with all that. Should make a great looking model.

Thanks Gaz. Decaling is next!

I agree Peter. I'll shoot the gloss on tomorrow and start decaling after it's dry. Coming along okay!

Thank you for that. Much appreciated.

Agreed. But I wonder how much the clear gloss overcoat will affect it. I don't think it will too much but time will tell. Gotta do that for the decals so we'll see.

Re-paint done. Better I think.

I think I'll overspray with some Model Master 34087 as it's a bit "browner". I sure hate to have to re-paint as it takes (took) the better part of a hour. Just call me lazy! LOL

Camo painting done but I'm really not happy with the results. Too green in my opinion. I used Colourcoats OD41 but I think I'll do a re-paint with something else.
