Re: Andrew's FAA Corsair
The Eaglecal decals went on nicely.
They don't like to be moved once down though! The white is nice and intense. No sign of the colour underneath breaking through. I do wonder if the fuselage roundels are a tad large though.
And who can resist Droppy McDroptank with the smiley face?
I've just remembered that I need to add the broken off radio mast. There are also some tiny air scoops, which sit right in the roundels.

You're a modelling machine, Sir! Not sure what kind, though . . .

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Knocked the aerial off again while fitting the canopy...
New aerial added, but then undercarriage door fell off
Gave up for the day. Will try again today

I'm really liking this; it has a real air of menace about it!

Great build Andrew. Looks right tasty in those markings
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto
