Here is the R2D engine that I used in my Eduard F4F-3. It fit perfectly. I modified the position of the bottom 8 ignition wires because R2D has them coming out of the front of the harness.

Beautiful! the cockpit is especially nice.
Check your props. I believe they may be on the wrong sides.

After the fall of the Syrian government, those jets served zero purpose. Not like the new regime(s) will have the resources / talent to have flown them anyway. They would have simply rusted away in their HAS's,
They would have still had some resale value. Now they are as worthless as all the kits I have started.

That looks incredible! Nice work! Are the props on the correct side? I thought they swung upward next the fuselage? Did you have any trouble with the rivet decals? They look great on your build.

Nice recovery! The weathering looks wonderful!

Just to throw fuel on the fire....... Though this is an F6F and not an FM-2... Is it being installed or removed? The choice of tools seems a little scary!
I would like to point out that the wing stub looks like it might interfere with the rockets in the fully folded position.

Very nice! According to my admittedly limited knowledge, there were no corsairs made without folding wings. Now, having stated that it is a guarantee that if there were corsairs made without wing folds it will now be made common knowledge because I said they didn't, You are welcome.😉

Perfect kitbash fodder, I found a supplier kit for this:
I would have called it the "Holy Mackerel!".

I'm curious as to why the two seat rendering has a ghost hoop on the pilots canopy?

Not the tubes, look at the glass, just like the heated windscreen on a Ford!

I've just had a quick shufti through the SAM Datafile 6 on the Beau. Everything points to clear covers and painted bulbs. ISTR that there was a stores reference for a translucent bulb paint. It would seem to be the lowest cost option, as it would enable only one kind of transparent cover to be manufactured rather than L/R models.
I ran into this same question while building my Tempest. I was of the impression that later int he war, for some aircraft at least, it was more practical to replace the different colored bulbs with clear bulbs and use colored lenses which didn't wear out as often as the bulbs did. Maybe it was easier to have a stock of clear bulbs vs three or more different colors. Note: this is all conjecture on my part and not intended to be construed as the final word. I am just a model builder after all.

I used to think most of my builds had gone pear shaped, now I shall have to compare them to some other mishapen fruit...maybe a rotten strawberry.
That looks amazing!
