Excellent stuff..one of my fav colours 😍
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Very well done build. But doesn't it miss some anchors in the markings? French Aeronavale was/is quite sticky in matters of prestige, identity etc.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Nope. The E.C 1/20 "Aures-Nèmetcha" were an airforce unit, which in real-world flew A-1 Skyraiders - so no anchors. The Corsairs were used by  Aeronautique Navale (french navy airforce) so these planes had anchors.

But a BLUE aircraft in airforce service?

The french airforce flew Grumman F8F Bearcat in Indochina, and they retained the US Navy blue.

A rather unattractive aircraft.  Well done.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
