Fantastic work Joe, one of my favourite aircraft.

Phwoar! :hungry:

Cheers Paul :thumb2:

Cracking job. That’s so sharp it’ll cut itself…..

Thanks Tim, I enjoyed building it

A great build Joe nice decals and Camo.

Cheers Vaughan. I too like the USAF South East Asia scheme. Today's greys can be rather plain and boring

Great finish on the model

Thank you Mick

YES very nice work indeed but i was wondering why the rear wheels eanr'nt painted white or is it how it was on the real plane ?

Thanks Chris. Here are two reference photos I used. The main wheels started life as white and got filthy with time to the point they appear black. I just went with black.

ooo now that's a nicely finished wingy thingy,

you've just gotta love that cam,

Cheers Chris. I like the scheme too

Beautiful job joe , the camo looks great , we dont often see the corsair in the SEAC colours . Sharp photography too , all round top work , cheers tony

Thank you Tony. I like it in this scheme, the later grey or grey/green is too dark for my liking. The photos are taken on my cellphone, I've got a white cake turntable I use against a pale wall with lights on. Seems to work well except when the models become too large for the turntable :thumb2:

Looks good in SEAC colours.

Cheers Rick, glad you like the scheme I chose for it.

HI Joe yes i see what you mean about the rear wheels not bein white but are black from dirt but you would think as they got to service the wheels for brakes an such they would just wipe off the dirt an to me i think your model looks more real than the real plane maybe because your model has more sharper colours an the real plane is wheathered but this is a plane ive never seen in real life an ive seen them on carrier decks but never in camo but i think you have done that very well indeed

Cheers David. It's about the same size as the F-117 Nighthawk.
