[lesofprimus]

Thanks Jan for the links... The second one I already had and there are a couple pics that I posted above from that build....

 

[Lucky13]

Just noticed that Brother... I didn't get the pics up that you had posted first, only after I had posted the links.

 

[Lucky13]

Have you started yet?

 

[rochie]

sorry Dan i've not got any cockpit pics but i've got a couple of colour engine pics i could post when i'm next on my home computer if they would help you when you come to do that bit

 

[lesofprimus]

No Jan, still struggling with the 109...

That would be great Karl, thanks....

 

[Wildcat]

This should be a good build, really looking forward to seeing how this turns out Dan.

 

[Airframes]

I think I might have a couple of cockpit shots in B&W Dan, and I'm sure there's some in the Kagero book I sent on CD.
That weathering wash is good, the women in my town use it as make-up - it helps make them look less scary!!

 

[Lucky13]

Is that their field equipment?

 

[Catch22]

Ooo hoo, really looking forward to this one Dan.

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks fellas fro the encouragement....

 

[Airframes]

Dan, forget my B&W cockpit shot. Have a look at Bentwings.com
At the top right of the home page, there's a box for the restoration of their Goodyear FG1D Corsair. Click on that and take a gander at the various photo-page sections. They've got everything from the airframe re-build, through the cockpit, to the finished bird - all in colour! Should prove at least a trifle useful I would think....

Frickin awesome link Terry, thanks...

 

[lesofprimus]

Anyone have the Model Master numbers or FS codes for the 3 tone camo colors Im gonna need???

 

[Catch22]

Hmm, perhaps. Let me have a look. I know I won't have the bottom colour, but I think I have the medium and dark sea blue.

 

[Catch22]

Now, the Intermediate Blue looks older than I am, so the number may have changed, but I doubt it.

Dark Sea Blue: FS 15042
Intermediate Blue: FS 35164

these are all from Osprey's modelling the F4U corsair
hope they are of use Dan

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks alot Karl, I appreciate it...

Hej Dan,

I read the thread with my growing interest.I must admit that it can be your next wonderful model.Possible I can add a model Corsair of VMF214 to my projects as well.It would be interesting to see both "big" and "small" brothers standing next to.

Here you are these FS and Testor ( Model Master ) paint numbers , notice please that the ANA 606 and ANA 607 are the same but the difference is that ANA 606 is semi matt but ANA 607 matt finish only.:

ANA 606 Semi-Gloss Sea Blue FS 35042 - MM 1717
ANA 607 Non-Specular Sea Blue FS 25042 - MM 1717
ANA 608 Non-Specular Intermediate Blue FS 35164 - MM 1720

Also I include the Corsair cockpit shot.Source unknown.I attached the smaller pic and the zip file with bigger one.

 

[A4K]
