Academys A-F4 Corsair - First attempt in 20 years :)

[fumblethumbs]

I gotta be honest with you Dave....I think your preshade looks great! Very accurate shooting. I too think the blue is a winner!

Very nice. I have not tried the -4 from Academy but I can tell you that nailing the Gloss Sea Blue is very, very difficult. I have tried it twice and I don't think I have yet got it.

But that's the fun right?

Keep at it!

Allright! got the paint in the mail and re-did it. Also put on some lighter paint here and there to simulate touchups during it´s life. Got the wheel wells masked up and painted and finally assembled the whole thing!

A coat of future closed the deal and now on to decals!

Looks good Dave, you're so close to finished.

Love the color on that Corsair. By this point you should start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks guys for your support and kind words!

Gonna sneek away tonight and get the decaling on while the mrs snores infront of the tv

Got my new project in the mail today. An OV-10 bronco 1/72 from Academy! Going to go for the Navy-version on that one.

Have a good weekend ladies and gents! ;D

Hey dangerousdave, you've got that "Bentwing Bird" looking sweat!
Keep up the good work, brother. Bill.
