the now defunct "Aces" magazine published two volumes on the Corsair with Part II covering the post-war period F2G to F4U-7. Via the Heimdal web site, French text. Doesn't look like they are still available, but the sort of thing you could probably pick up easily from The Aviation Bookshop in Tunbridge Wells. https://editions-heimdal.fr/en/aces/1065-aces-special-issue-n2.html

@Pete in Lincs... a recommendation for you. Currently reading Geert Mak's "In Europe - travels through the 20th Century". Each of the book's 66 chapters (800 page paperback) deals with a city or town in Europe, mostly covering wartime, eg Stalingrad, Vichy, London, Dunkirk, Prague, Budapest, Oosterbeek etc at a particular period. Brilliant & fascinating read..

.. indeed, you can't rely on the checker decals to work around those tight curves on the nose, tried and ended up painting them...

Very nice! You didn't happen to locate a rigging diagram by any chance when doing your research?

Like RS Models, not so keen on Luft 46, but could be tempted here. Any clues as to whether this would be a tail-sitter or not? If so where would you put the weight. Presumably behind the 'deflector plate' ?

I'd agree. I struggle in similar fashion. been airbrushing for donkey's years, have decent airbrushes (Harder & S), compressor and tank. Every session is still a bit of a chore. Used to hate having to strip the brush down after each session, now I can do it in my sleep. Definitely the paint & thinning that's the problem. But then I've used them all - or so it seems. Keeping separate brushes for acrylics and enamels is a good tip. A colleague recently suggested Mr Color - beautiful paints, but no, they don't seem to 'work' any better than Tamiya. which are probably still the best for me. So I stick to cans for single colour schemes - Halfords Volvo dark grey is great for black by the way. Yellows and reds are great out of cans. The new Dora Wings Fairey Delta will probably get a few coats of BMW blue and look not too bad!
