Revell 1/32 El Salvadran FG-1 Corsair

[Brad]

This is the older Revell kit, but despite it's age, it still builds into a nice model. The fit is generally pretty good and you do have the option to fold the wings. This is built straight from the box, with the roundels masked and painted on.

 

The aircraft is one used in the 100 Hours, or more commonly known as the Soccer War between Honduras and El Salvador in 1969. It was the last air war fought with piston engined aircraft, Honduras flying Corsairs and El Salvador flying a mix of Mustangs and Corsairs. Surviving fighters on both sides continued to serve into the 1970's.

That's come up very well Brad, the paint masks are especially well done and I agree that these old kits are always good to revisit every once in a while. 

Cheers and well modelled.. Dave

Looks great 👍I

 

I like the different scheme and markings. 

 

Revell  reissued this kit not so long ago, and it has been tempting me. 

 

Very well done.

 

Cheers Greg

That’s definitely something different! Great scheme.

 

The old kit scrubs up well in the right hands 👍

The Goodyear Corsairs are my favorite variants, and to see one in such an obscure and distinctive scheme, and so well-executed, brings a smile to my face.  Beautiful, memorable model.

Well done work on the old girl.

I agree with everyone`s comments regarding this Corsair plus it`s nice to see the big bird in a unique battle uniform.  

 

You`ve done the old kit proud. Congratulations!!!!!!

Looks great, Brad, and yes it's an unusual scheme!  Interesting how long some piston-engine fighters remained in use so late in the jet age.

 

Cheers,
