Great shot Andy! You'd surely not be able to load bombs like that though, unless there was some sort of specific jack for the purpose..?

Bill, do you still need custom decals? If so I have a site bookmarked that does it. It'll take me a bit to find it but just let me know.

great looking work. the light coloured cockpit works well because it emphasises the detail. I have a question, was that light colour used in F4Us ?
andy is right....looking the best yet!

Brooks, yes I do need the decal makers link..... that would be great. goodonya.....
Parsi, I hope so..... I used Tamiyas paint, but to tell you the truth, I have darkened it from the bottle color.... I am under the impression All US aircraft used the same interior color.
Wayne, thanks for that. It just seemed like it waas right for this plane somehow. It seems to lend itself to the detail. I can't seem to stop.....
Just a couple more pics.

Got to agree with all Bill, this one is a cracker.
I think we would all like to know Aaron. Should I PM you.

Thanks guys.
It's finally on legs. Flaps, ailerons and rudder fitted and attached. Just elevators to go.
I wanted more realistic underside formation lights. So I used the handle from tooth brushes, red and green. Drilled a 1.5 hole and trimmed and filed rounds. Put a dot of silver on the ned to go into the hole and used white glue to hold the green one in. red one is done, now I have to find an orange tooth brush for the third hole.
Won't be adding anything else, unless I do the white light on the tail. LOL
Just the gun bay doors left to do.
And the decals. Will contact one of the above Brooksy. Cheers for the help.

Here's the custom masks site I was trying to remember Bill. May be an alternative to decals.

The color in the pit looks bang-on to me. I have found a vast variance in shades of U.S. zinc chromate. Generally, the navy looks more yellowish and the air corps more green, but as always, there are exceptions.
Good choice on the blue too!
