Reini78 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 During building a Birdcage Corsair and a French Suez Crisis F-84F, my dad thought, why not build a French Suez Corsair too? So he will start the Revell reboxing of the Hasegawa kit. DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 When my dad was about to start with the decals, he realized that Revell got the fuselage numbers wrong. Compared with the original aircraft they are oversized. So he redecided and will do now an Algerian War aircraft with Berna Decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 Looked closer at the Berna decals and realized that they have got all the BueNo wrong by printing F407 instead of F4U7, also think they mixed up -7s with AU-1s. Well, in the end I bought decals from MDC in the UK. Already tried them out, they work fine. https://www.modeldesignconstruction.co.uk/ Gonny do now an AU-1 scheme, 17F15 DSC_0010 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 finally the work continues still have to add a white dot between 17 and F, MDC missed that for the burnt smoke stain, my dad washed away the blue paint with a brush and spirit DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0003 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0004 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
