1:72 Airfix Handley Page Victor B.Mk.2
Cookenbacher replied to Navy Bird's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Glad that sinus surgery is behind you now Bill, and fingers are crossed here for sure. I love the grey panel wash. In my time staring at aircraft pics, I've noticed that panel lines often stand out on a white surface from some distance - this is particularly noticeable with white stripes against a dark paint scheme (like Invasion Stripes) where panels will be very obvious, then disappear in the darker pianted section. -
Inverted Gull Wing, the American way. It's a Corsair!

I think that's called the 'eyebrow panel' and here is a quote from @Dana Bell on the matter from another forum: "The eyebrows were introduced with the raised cockpit Corsairs, the -1As. The left eyebrow was factory-installed beginning with F4U-1A BuNo 17930, F3A-1A 04739, and FG-1A 13572. The switches were, from the left, the gun camera, master arm, outboard gun switch, center gun switch, gunsight light, and gunsight light rheostat. I've seen a few cockpit shots where the gun camera switch was not present, but I've never found documentation explaining that anomaly."

That's an amazing finish Bill! Here's hoping the SNOT comes out alright. -

Thinking of you here in Seattle, Bill. -
Amazing stuff as always Stew, the thirtysecondaissance continues!

Corsairs limited build for 23.

So glad you're able to be back at the bench Dennis and may 2024 see you in better and better health. You only managed 4 times my 2023 production! Lovely aircraft as usual, and I'm very taken with the Star Wars output, especially the metallic Clone Infiltrator! -
Amazing that you can build so many models to that degree of quality in a single year - just brilliant Alistair!

Thanks Dennis! Things are going well here in Seattle, just very busy! It's great to see that the @Corsairfoxfouruncle aircraft factory is revving back up to full steam! Thank you, thank you - it's Stynlrez metal primer, then Vallejo Metal Color aluminum, then AK True Metal paste buffed on top of that. I could buff each panel and have two layers of metallic paint underneath in case I was too aggressive. Thank you George! I went to school in NM, and most of my family is still there and I think they have one of the best state flags. Thanks Stefano! I've begun chopping and mixing some Spitfires again, and was re-reading your wonderful Mk XII thread just recently! Thank you Giorgio - I'm disappointed that I ruined the second P-47 - I must really try your NMF technique! Thank you Francois, and happy New Year to you too! Thank you Andy - I must admit that the check transfers were very intimidating, but settle well with Mr Mark Setter and Softer Thank you Alistair - I need to catch up on your recent wonder-builds!

That is an elegant looking Liberator Neil, wow -
You always pick the best schemes John, and it's hard to believe this is 1/144th!

Fantastic build!

I managed a second whole build in 2023, a 1/72 Tamiya Razorback for the P-47 Thunderbolt STGB. Build thread is here: That final pic also featuring my thumb in the upper left corner! Happy New Year everyone!

Another Metal Experiment - 1/72 Tamiya P-47D
Cookenbacher replied to Cookenbacher's topic in P-47 Thunderbolt STGB
Well, disaster struck with build number two - something went wrong with the insignia masks and they wouldn't come up properly creating quite a mess. Fixing it would have required removing all the paint to that point and starting over, which I really didn't have the stomach for. -

Agreed, he looks very menacing! The cape update spared us from his fearsome stare - very impressive Giorgio! -

So glad you're doing well Steve, and the P-47 looks ace! -
I wouldn't complain about an extension either!

Cookenbacher replied to AdrianMF's topic in P-47 Thunderbolt STGB
That's a beauty of a scheme Adrian - and you're working at such a clip that my comments about the check scheme scheme and modified figure are woefully out of date: I really like how the faded OD sets off the checks, and your figure work is very impressive - you basically had to sculpt his entire flying jacket!
