Thank you very much for your encouraging words
Kirby, Andy, Wojtek, Brian, Terry and George, thank you, my friends.
Today in the newspaper, the government confirmed 61 deaths, the great majority in the state of Oaxaca, others in Chiapas and Tabasco, the entities most affected by the earthquake. There were no cases reported in Mexico City, and here we only live
23 million people !!
It will always be a pity for all the people affected. And the help is already working.
Nothing more I comment again that it is
"nothing" compared to the disastrous events and number of losses of 1985.
I had to live it and yes, it was very hard!
Let's change the subject and talk about pleasant things.
Kirby is absolutely right about the fuel filler port, it was an absolute mistake of appreciation in the photo I was using to make it
. And yes, it will definitely be better to scribe it, possibly the red plug, I do it with a very thin piece of styrene. It does not interrupt me at all with the advanced until now and I share the photos:
First everything was left with his coat of Primer ...
I did not take a photo of the drop tanks, but in this one can be seen inside the plastic cup
The next day I could only apply the white color where those stripes will go and the "letters, insignia of the squadron"
(I do not think it is the correct name I used) ... those that go in the vertical stabilizer of the tail and in the wings ...
I just realized in this last photo that I forgot to paint the doors of the landing gear in white , where also the number of plane and "those letters" - 11 LF -
I liked how simple it can be to create the number 11 and the letters LF with tamiya tape on the white and paint on the blue or green (as appropriate)
Once again I request your support with your recommendations and suggestions ; What do you consider to be simpler, to paint the green over the white and after marking the width of the white stripes with the blue of the airplane, or to the reverse, first demarcate the total width of the strip with the blue of the plane and then center the green so that they are well defined and to the correct width those lines.
This is my doubt, what is your opinion?
I have to also take care of the detail that the circles of the stars on the sides of the Corsair, in the tone of the aircraft, so I must do a good job of masking (the star with its stripes in white and red will be decals)
Saludos y excelente fin de semana para todos!
México sigue en pie !!
