Turboprop F4U Corsair in Vietnam

[Brian da Basher]

Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wicked! This shows a ton of promise, Ed! Looks like I came back into the fold just in time.... viva la turbowarbird!

It's great to have you back, Zac!

P.S. Now go whiff a Yak.

Progressing swimmingly Ed, looks like we'll be ogling the finished product very soon! 

And Zac, we have a new rule that returning characters are required to run naked through the board and then buy a round. We'll be waiting in the canteen.

I've made some progress on this one.  I used some epoxy and filled in the nose and have sanded it to shape.  There are a couple small blemishes that need touchup, but it's coming along.  You can also see that the vertical tail has been removed so that I can add a taller tail.  And the new wingtips are in place and need a little more shaping.

That is a sexy shnozz

[noxioux]

Yeah, what he said.  The nose looks great.  Keep it coming!

[John Howling Mouse]

Very cool, Ed.  Will you be squaring off the wingtips and tail or cutting them back to Corsair-curves?

What kind of filler/epoxy did you use for the fantastic rhinoplasty, anyhow?

The wingtips will be squared off with tiptanks.  The filler is "Apoxy Sculpt".  It's a two part epoxy.  It's similar to Miliput and can be smoothed and shaped with a damp finger before it cures.  Really handy stuff.

I've made some progress on this one.  Steady if not fast.

I've got the wings and tip tanks attached.  Still a little PSR to do but things are taking shape.

The proportions are just so balanced too.   
Awesome stuff.

She's looking pretty darn good so far!  Keep it coming

[sideshowbob9]

Really like it so far! Please tell me it's going to be a contraprop. 

[devil505]

Looking good there!!

Absolutely fabulous ED. Eleven out of ten for this bird.
Are you going to do Light Gull Grey over White, or have you something more interseting thought out?
Keep going, do not slow down or stop.

[ElectrikBlue]

Promising!
