Did a bit more minor painting, nothing worth showing. However...while taking the above photo, I decided to take photos of the innards for the next GB(I'll be in camp when it starts) and made a minor discover while editing the shots; I can rotate them. Its always bothered me when the shot is slightly askew when taking detail shots and I'm too lazy to reshoot. Its not out by much but it really bugs me when I see it

Model is looking good Geo. I'm not sure about that sawtooth in the camo demarcation at the cowl flaps. Was that on you original bird?

 

[fubar57]

Not quite. I didn't realize until I put the cowl on. On the real aircraft in the photo the cowl looks to be a replacement as the upper camo doesn't follow the fuselage camo, this is the oddball part that I found interesting. I erred with the front of the fuselage camo. I'm not in a rush, I can move the white on the fuselage to the correct spot in a little while

Dang that F4f is looking nice! Good work.

 

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Geo. I see it now and it looks like there is a definite mismatch there, though it may be accentuated by open cowl flaps.

It's looking good Geo. (Heck ! Did I really say that about one of those things ?!!).

 

[SANCER]

Well done so far, mi amigo. I like that scheme

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good so far!

Terry is mellowing with age...

Just takes time Andy...

​

As is per usual, I have to psyche my self up to airbrush. This game me lots of time to ponder how to move the white to the correct location. In the end I decided to tackle this as I had tackled the rear spine. Mask still need to be added to the cowl as this demarcation needs to be raised as well.

It's looking topps, one to keep in mind for PTO group build continuing my Marine Davidson from Wake Island.

Shoosh away Geo.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far George!

 

[fubar57]

Done and starting to get disheartened with all the masking and remasking. Not perfect but close enough

​

Over the right wing can be seen the 80% done clear parts

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.

 

[Luftace43]

Keep at it Geo, she's turning into a looker. I think we all know how discouraging remasking/painting can be but you will prevail! Looking forward to more of this build.

Looks like you've got that sorted Geo - nice work.
