And here are some extra. (It kinda looks worse up close XD Look at it from a distance) I haven't put on the Drop tanks as I ran outta time :P All in all I think it looks pretty good, better than others i've made certainly.

User name: Spherical Name: Tama Category: Beginner Scale: 1/72 Manufacturer: Italeri Model type: F4U-7 Corsair Aftermarket: OOB Model finished, and in the nick of time. I'm leaving for holidays tommorow. Some bits are a bit under done and others a little rushed but this kit gave me a...

Well it's finished now. So head over to the finished post!

Evan, I always find It hard to go back to a kit I screwed up and try and fix it up. You'd better post pictures of the diarama when its done It sounds like its going to be quite the looker, in the wasting\rusting away sense. Terry, That sounds alot more sane, Ill try that on my next model...

Time for another update! Everything now is stuck together, excluding the rockets and droptanks which have a heck of flash on them (especially the rockets where it’s a heap of extra thick plastic on the fins). I decided to experiment with Navigation Lights using clear parts, (I saw it in a...

Damn!!!! Don't worry I'll reupload the photos and see if that fixes anything. Edit - that should have things sorted now, cheers for alerting me to that.

Heck its certainly been a while since my last update. Firstly I promised some better cockpit shots: After that I painted the undercarriage wells (which I need to repaint (same colour)), put the front peice on, which then promptly fell off. Sorted the intakes with drybrushed silver and stuck...

Cheers man! I am making progress, albeit rather slowly :D

I've been quite busy lately, but here's and update!!! Yay!! Cheers Even, I've taken up the advice on the paint colors and mixed Humbrol 78, 117 and 74 for the cockpit olive green. And thank you very much for the parts offer, I haven't wrecked any yet but theres still plenty of time :D...

Cheers Guys, especially for the painting advice! Ive decided to paint the cockpit predominately black (Thanks to Vic and Catch), just need to find some reference shots to see what bits, all I can find are pics (of a F4U-5N converted to a F4U-7) of the control panel (which is black). So if...

Before I get cracking on the cockpit interior I have a question about paint colors. The kit states that the dominant cockpit color for the F4U-7 is Green Zinc Chromate Flat (FS 34151, MM 1734, Italeri 4736AP), is this accurate? Also if it is what is that color of it in Humbrol paints? I've been...

Is it possibly for somebody to change the thread title to also have the -Carrier Aircraft GB- tacked on the end? Forgot to add it :oops: User name: Spherical Name: Tama Category: Beginner Scale: 1/72 Manufacturer: Italeri Model type: F4U-7 Corsair Aftermarket: OOB I will be doing...

Congrats to everyone! This being my first group build it was a heck of a lot of fun, I can't wait till the Carrier aircraft GB!

Now that would really get the votes rolling in!

That looks like one tasty campaign. And the AI flying across your front, Ive done that on occasion to my flight leader in multiplayer!
