All, Like the BBC, I am here to inform, educate, and entertain! Let's get the education out of the way quickly, so that we can get onto the fun stuff! I'll be building aircraft (yes plural!) from Morocco and Algeria, marked on the below map of Africa (and the North Africa Region below it) : North Africa regions map Peter Fitzgerald, CC BY-SA 3.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0>, via Wikimedia Commons I'll be using the Special Hobby "Exotic Air Forces" version of the Fouga Magister, and will be using the spare decals on a Heller Fouga Magister that I already had in the stash. As usual, I'll be building the aircraft "in flight" so will be using some NATO pilots and (if I can find any!) some old flight stands also from the stash.

In graciously accepting Col's @Col. invitation to complete my LeO I am continuing my post here. There is actually little more to do. I was concerned about the rules but I have agreed not to post in the Gallery once finished. I hope everyone agrees with this. If not I will withdraw her so as not to offend. The full detail of the build is below. It is my attempt at building something a little different from the norm. as is my way :). I didn't manage to get her done by the GB deadline because of my slow progress and then I was tripped up near the end by my incorrect measurement of some decals. These are now being re-printed. So, here goes ..... The Heller GB thread: Today I am left with the following to clean, prime, paint and assemble, plus the code decals of course. You can see in the bottom right that I have had to cut out some new tail wheel doors. I lost the first ones! The rest of the bits are: resin wheels (Renaissance Models), DC-3/C-47 props (Airfix), and the spinner, pitot, an aerial, undercart doors, tailwheel (all from the kit). I will get them all clean and primed. The tailwheel doors need to be curved uner heat before that, though. In addition to this I will be adding more aerials from styrene rod and stringing them with EZ line. All work for next week Martin

Hi guys, Just finished this as my entry for the French Fancy GB. Overall it's a very nice model and goes together quite nicely. I used a mix of the kit decals and a sheet from MDC. Here is a link to the build: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234979096-revell-148-f4u-7-corsair-en-algerie-cest-fini/ And here are the pictures of the finished item: Hope you like them. All comments and criticisms are welcome as usual and thanks for looking. Craig.

Hi all, My entry for this Group Build is going to be the Revell boxing of the excellent Hasegawa F4U-7 Corsair in 1/48 scale. These aircraft were used extensively by the Aeronavale during this bitter conflict and were operated from both shore bases and carrier decks, their good range and ability to carry a large amount of just about anything you could possibly want to drop on or fire at people making them very popular (with the French at least, probably less so the Algerians). Here are the usual "kit in bits" shots. Striking box art of the usual Suez marked aircraft. The contents and decals sheet laid out. A closer shot of the excellent Revell decal sheet. And now a couple of shots of the real thing to give some idea of the finish I am going to try and achieve, and to prove that they were also shore based, and very, very dirty! I hope that this choice of topic meets with the approval of the other group builders (there are some great topics on the go already). Any help and advice (and criticism) is always welcome. Thanks for looking. Craig.
