Ziroli F4U Corsair rebuild (cont)

Fuse panel lines, rivets, canopy and decals.

Panel lines and rivets.







Again, double lines to represent cloth over ribs on rudder and elevator.











New canopy 'glass'.
Attached the existing metal frame to the new 'glass'.

Dry fit.



Used silicon caulk and screws to secure the frame to the 'glass'.
This stuff has gotten expensive: 14 bucks a tube!



Let dry before cutting and attaching the rear canopy.
Paper towel and alcohol used to remove excess caulk.



Decals.
Vinyl decals applied as on the wing.





Left side.



Modeled after Pappy's squadron.



'86' was suppose to be Pappy's plane number.



Left side.
