Looks good. Drilling out the exhausts is a good improvement here.

Hello,
I need some information regarding my model kit. I read and saw that the F6F-5 had two triangle fairings against the fuselage wing junctions on each sides, see photos below

Was it all F6F-5 or only at the end of series? TIA

For some reason, the photos won't open. This has happened before. I'll come back later and they'll be open and I'll go through my books unless someone else pops in with some info.

Geo

EDIT: Logged off and back on and the photos still won't open.
EDIT THE EDIT: They open now. I'll start going through my books when I wake up in the A.M.ish

[le_steph40]

Oups... Please give up your researches... I just noticed that these little triangles are on the kit but in engraved lines... Hum hum... I know, I'm stupid.........

 

[fubar57]

No problem Steph. I love doing this kind of thing.
