Looking good old boy, but I agree about the overall 'silver'. A coat of grey to the crankcase, and a few spots of other colours here and there, and Bob will be ones Uncle, don't you know!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Silver or no, it still looks good Jan.

 

[Wayne Little]

Done good getting it all together Jan.

Cracking good toast, Old Man!
Yep gotta agree, I know Grumman had a blue-grey shade for the crank and transfer case, and I have seen several shades on Corsairs, but she does look spiffy "hot rodded"

Shows you what you get, when you DO follow the instructions!
Says all alumium! And I left my F4U Corsair D&S at my parents!

Oh, cockpit and stuff is being worked on now...


Like this then?

 

[meatloaf109]

There was a matchbox F-4F kit many years ago that had a painting guide on the back of the box, if you followed that you got a USN aircraft in Pea green upper and bright blue under!

 

[ccheese]

A little black and blue won't hurt, Jan. How-um-so-ever, it do look good...
