Reini78 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 #30/2016 Corsario numero dos terminado. After the FAS Corsair my dad has finished the opposing Corsair too. Hasegawa kit with Aztec decals, seatbelts added, scratchbuild parts for the armament switches on top of the instrument board, brake lines and antenna wire with EZ Line. The kit includes a 1000lb bomb but the biggest ones the FAH had were 500lb bombs. This one, together with the smaller clamps were taken from a Hasegawa P-51 kit. The "T" antenna on the rear belly was taken from Hasegawa´s ancient F4U-4 kit. Painted with Gunze H54 Navy Blue. The flags were painted too, only the stars are decals. The model shows the a/c of Major Fernando Soto Henriquez who became an ace in the war by shooting down two FAS Corsairs and one FAS Mustang on July 19th 1969. Most probably the plane didn´t have the noseart anymore when the war started, but it looks good and we´ve never seen FAH609 done with it so we decided to apply it. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
