What's the red lines on the propellerblades for?

 

[Heinz]

Looks great

What's the red lines on the propellerblades for?

Good question. Positioning of groundcrew slip-pulls for pre-flight engine rotation?

 

[Wayne Little]

Don't ask me? Terry over to you.....

Couple for Catch this time!

Nice Corsair. The red marks on the Swordfish prop, I'm not sure, but I think that Matt has probably got it close.

 

[rochie]

i like the paint scheme on that corsair

 

[Catch22]

Very nice, thanks Wayne! I didn't realize the US had any Corsairs that weren't DSB.

 

[Lucky13]

Sweet Corsair!

 

[Wayne Little]

Next!

 

[109ROAMING]

Like the Panther? on the side

Nice Hawk! some of the paintwork looks a bit 'lumpy', but I thinks it's reflection from the lights. Very nice scheme though.

 

[B-17engineer]

Great job!!!

 

[Catch22]

Very nice!

 

[Wildcat]

Very nice

 

[Matt308]

Great execution. I'm just puzzled by the Kiwi colors and markings. Sure looks busy. And the with such a colorful and intricate model, the base detracts from the artists work.

It's a real art to not only build a model, but in these competitions display, present and provide background material of the build progeny. That's intimidating. Kudos the builder. Beyond my skills.

I've had a closer look at this....and maybe it is a brush painted model?

Next up the Jug!!

 

[Screaming Eagle]

very nice! every time I see a jug, it just makes me wanna build more of them!
