Many thanks to all of you guys for your kind comments. They are very much appreciated.

I will be doing more aircraft in the future and look forward to posting my work here.

All the best!

Beautifully done with very subtle weathering

Yeah that thread stuff looks the "biz"!

Thought I'd already commented on this one, but apparently not. Superb work Dave, very nice subtle weathering

Hi Totalize:

May I say, a totally bofo build, and I especially like your engine treatment! As far as antenna wire goes, I like going with what Terry uses... the smoked invisible tailor's thread. Works very well.

 

[Hotntot]

Nice one. Look forward to the new shots once the thread and tape 'damping' is done.

 

[treyzx10r]

Very nicely done Bent wing bird,great paint work and the weathering looks awesome. cheers Trey

 

[Totalize]

I have finished the antenna fix and will post some pics soon.

Thanks again for your comments.
Dave.

 

[STRYKER]

Awesome!

 

[Wurger]

I agree.

 

[Angels one-five]

Lovely job. The weathering in particular really captures the feel of a well-fought airframe.

Thanks very much for all your kind comments. As you may have noticed from some of previous posts I became ill last summer and have recovering from my Illness for the last year. I am doing much better and starting to re-engage in modelling once again.

Here is is a shot of the invisible nylon wire Terry suggested I get a hold of and with it on the corsair. I also dirtied up the white tape on the airframe to make it look more worn to fit the look of the aircraft. Hope you guys like it. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
